I couldn't agree more CP!!! There is a countless amount of just pure awesome people in this community, and should make everyone here proud to be a part of such a community!!!

Just like the donation thread for Loonym's daughter was! So many people jumped in and helped just for the cause!

I have been in many, many forums and communities in the last 10 years or so, and none have even come close to the community here at TPU!!!!

Glad we think alike. :toast:

Sorry for the double post, but I think this post deserves a slot for itself.

Usually you help people out on here and you ask them if they need something. Even if at no cost, you at least usually ask. Well, you know how far people go to help and what kind of people are still left in this world when you get something sent to you without even asking, something you need as well!

Boy, and aren't we lucky to have people like that here. Over time I've been amazed at the countless times the amazing members of TPU have been willing to help at no cost at all to me, and today from what I see it continues.

I had posted a few times I had issues with HDD's and stuff on my 3rd rig and people suggested a flash drive to run Windows off there so I don't need a HDD. Well today I walk in the door from work and find a envelope on my dining room table from Newegg. I'm freakin' stunned at this point because I have not ordered anything whether from them or anywhere. So I open it to find this inside:

Really, whether it's something that's a dollar or something that's $1,000, I am just speechless at what members of this community are willing to do for others.

By the way, now I know what FIH DON meant when he told me on Facebook the other day that he had something for me.

damn

isnt that just a bootable usb stick afterwards, you could install from?

Pembo210 · Dec 9, 2010

Yeah, it makes a bootable drive with windows. You can't install programs on the drive due to space. The downside is the speed difference between USB 2.0 (480Mb/s) vs. Sata (3Gb/s). Pretty much everything else works though.

problem is that USB drives hardly put out more than 30mb, pretty slow, but once booted it should run

Chicken Patty · Dec 9, 2010

Thanks guys, I'll look into it. :toast:

KieX · Dec 9, 2010

If it doesn't work, or if you like pictures and screenshots to not loose concentration (like me) then you can use this method for any windows OS from vista onwards including the server versions:

(used it so many times i memorised the commands :laugh:

(FIH) The Don · Dec 9, 2010

think he wants windows to RUN from the stick, not install from it

So my OCZ Agility 2 90GB SSD died on me last night forcing me to rush and install a WD 250 GB and get rig #1 crunching again. It was down for about two hours

I am not happy with my first try with the SSD...

stinger608 · Dec 10, 2010

That sucks Hammer!!!! Damn man, at the price point of these dang SSD's I just can't get on board with the technology yet. Just don't trust them, and have seen many people have issue with them.
