I need a Windows Operating System
 

Here's the ting: my harddrive on my ENTERTAINMENT/RADIO STATION computer died so I bought a new one. I ransacked everything I own to try and find the restore discs but can not find them. Its no fair that I would have to spend 100 bucks on an OS because well just because

So I am looking for a solution that will not cost me money or make me go into untrustworthy websites where I may end up downloading something sketchy

Does anybody know of any reliable places where I can make this happen? I am looking for windows XP or Vista would be good as well.

Hey guys, I made this post when I forgot that I had an account at demonoid which has stuff like this

whoops!

dude you can go to jail for this :(

Just get Linux.:lol2

scienceman i don't like your tone

I think Jixby got arrested! Gotta turn off those automatic updates, pal.

get ubuntu

good idea, you'll love having a web server instead of a computer

My problem with Ubuntu and Linux in general is that web access is a must. You can't add or compile programs without it because you need to download the compilers. Agh. And I can't get any of the audio codecs, either.

I'm left with .ogg and no video functionality on my upstairs computer. It doesn't have a network card.

So yeah.

ubuntu can fucking lick me >:

1. Get in your car, or on your scooter or w/e you have
2. Get to Best Buy
3. Walk into the store and warmly great the slaves in the blue polo's
4. Walk to the Computer Section
5. Handle a copy of Vista
6. Stuff in your pants
7. Run out

Tah Dah, 7 step process to getting your copy of vista for free!

Hey guys

Turns out emachines will send me new restore discs even though the computer isn't registered under my name. I just have to pay for shipping!

It costs 20 dollars to ship it!

For restore DISCS? Is it coming from Tibet? What a rip!

eMachines are for fools (I would know I owned two) :(

Shit, that twenty bucks is probably for meth or some shit man.

Expect a bag of flaming dog shit once they get your money. You might see one of them tripping onto the ground when you come to answer the door.

Seriously though, 20 to ship a friggin' CD/Floppy? Probably the mail guys who do the meth then. Not enough fucking disclipline in this world man.

Did this guy just say Meth?

I don't think eMachine restore discs work on any computer but the one for which it's specifically designed. BUYER BEWARE!

Really? Because I was going to offer him mine :(

I'M AN IDIOT FOR eMachines!!!

Fuck yeah I said METH, what the fuck do you think? Same people who go oohing and aaahing over a fucking toaster oven: same guys asking for more money than really is needed.

that only happnes if you type server install (or something of those sorts) at the prompt

or if you turn it on, since that's the only real function Linux serves

Ain't that the fucking truth.

Theres nothing better then snorting lines of cocaine off of a restore disk while simultaneously installing an OS on your E-machine......made of cocaine.....

Why am I seeing you post everywhere? It's not that I'm reading anything that's worthwhile or that is relevant.

Just asking.

wait, are you saying that nothing I post is worthwhile? :(

You are correct. I've been waiting for important and interesting people to post, and all I've seen is you. I'm upset at these forums.
