Seems to be a real shortage of wheels here atm, as I can't find anyone available either. Most shops doesn't have them in stock until sometime in January.

NKP has the typical Italian design. Its magnificent when it works right, but otherwise it's down more than an Eastern European prostitute.

How the hell do YOU know about Eastern European prostitutes? You're Canadian, eh?

What does this situation have to do with customer service?

This -> "Idiot-proof steps for improving communication with your customer"

Seriously, you can't deny that they are communicating less with us after this shit with the Scirocco happened? The little they do tell us every 6 months or so, brings nothing new that we didn't already know. More than anything, it's lead to that most of the good drivers are no longer active in LFS, but have gone to another well-known sim. Whether they will come back remains to be seen. In my opinion, any serious company should do everything to keep their customers, to prevent them from going to the competitor.

S3 would be a better present.

My Christmas gift for the devs will be this.

There's a jumper on the mb that resets the bios. Look in the manual.

Don't know if your mb has this function, but the new Asus boards usually have a button you can press to let it automatically adjust the bios according to the installed ram modules.

Quote from Jakg :

It did... but something broke it so I had to make a new one. That was the first problem I had .

Check on the root of your windows partition if you have a boot folder. If so, then the partition you made might not even being used, as the repair you ran from the install DVD reconstructed the bootloader on the windows partition instead.

Quote from Jakg :

Not quite sure how to use fdisk (as in, I dont know what the discs name is)

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

You can also use Windows bootloader to boot Windows and Linux, instead of Grub. Maybe that will work better. Just make sure when installing Ubuntu that you don't install Grub loader to the mbr, but to the Ubuntu partition. Then you can use EasyBCD in Windows to manage the bootloader.

Wow nice one! Hope it goes better this time.

Good question. Try this first: make sure the Windows partition is a primary one and set active. Then run the repair option from the Windows 7 install DVD. If this doesn't work you can try the following method I found on sevenforums.com.

Use Gparted to make an ntfs primary partition - it doesn't need to be big 200mb will do. Mark it Active ( rt click and Flag On )

Boot 7 dvd go to command prompt, type diskpart, lis vol, select the new primary with sel vol, ass ( to assign next available drive letter). Exi ( to leave diskpart).

bcdboot <7volumeletter>:\windows /s <newprimaryletter>:

bootsect /nt60 <newprimaryletter>: /mbr

That should get you booting back into 7.

Quote from bunder9999 :

exactly. one of the last steps of the windows install installs the ntldr and configures it properly to boot windows (or whatever seven uses, because i believe it uses a new bootloader). i've done it a few times where doing fixboot/fixmbr didn't work because i changed the drive's position within the system.

Windows 7 uses a separate 100MB partition for the bootloader, if it's installed on an empty drive. Otherwise it resides under \boot folder in the system partition. In Jacks case it might be that the boot partition is wiped. There's no ntldr, fixboot and fixmbr in Windows 7.

Output of fdisk -l, and the grub config file?

Rebuilding the BCD doesn't fix it? That's weird. Did partitions get moved around when you installed Ubuntu?

When I had my S13 I bought some parts through eBay.

If you get one, make sure it has a proper diff though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ono584rwY

Quote from Dennis93 :

2 there is no talented drivers choosing the FXR anyways..

Actually, imo they should see it as a challenge and choose the underdog car, and try to win a championship with it. Which as far as I know, have never happened in a GT league in LFS. To me that would be WAY more impressive than the usual stuff with the FZR at the top. But I guess they don't have enough balls to try and take on the mighty FZR. Kudos to those that have though.

If you have installed XBMC Dharma beta 2, which I suggest, you go to System -> Add-ons and choose Install from zip file. Then browse to and select the Navi-X zip file you downloaded. After that you can start the Navi-X plugin from the Programs menu in the home screen.

Try to install DirectX 9 runtime.

Btw I recommend installing latest XBMC beta.

XBMC with the Navi-X plugin.

There's a simulator here you can try to test it.

Tabs besides the adress bar? No thanks.

Putting a harddrive from another computer in, and expect it to boot, is very likely not gonna happen, unless the hardware specs are almost completely the same.

This 1337 enough for you Matt?
