You will need to reinstall them, but yeah they should work.

k can i reinstall my games directly to my external?

After windows 7 is installed, yes. When you do, just create a folder on your external called "Applications", then before you install a game say, halo 2. Make a folder called "halo 2" inside "applications", and then when the game installer asks where to install, point it to that folder

About the G9 laser mouse i bought. I'm pretty sure u said u had the same one. What do you do to keep the mouses wire untangled? I tried to just wrap it around the mouse but i think the wire is getting worn out when i do this.

I do pretty much nothing , the extra hangs over the back of my desk, then connects to my rig.

Oh u use it for a comp? I'm talking about using it for my laptop. When i try to pack it i cant just leave the wire in a bunch. I tried to use my sister's hairband, still made it worn out. Any ideas?

It has a braided sheath over the wires, it doesnt really get worn out...

 

[Rawlaw]

the sheath does. i can see it slowly unraveling.


Is this any good?

No net books come with a dvd drive correct?

 

[bomberboysk]

No, netbooks have no optical drive.

 

[Rawlaw]

what's so great about net books other then their battery life and weight? Because i am seeing laptops maybe a little heavier but with much better specs and of course a bigger screen.

 

[bomberboysk]

You just said it, amazing battery life, small size, low weight.

 

[Rawlaw]

k one of these is cheaper then the other but i can't seem to see any significant difference in between them.

[bomberboysk]

Brand, thickness, weight, etc.

 

[Rawlaw]

the weight is not too much of a difference, the brand i could care less as long as it's giving me a good system.

Ya i got a problem the download isn't letting me do anything. I cant unzip it or open it or anything. The only thing it's allowing me to do is reopen the page where i downloaded it thus restarting the download. What do i do?

Download of windows 7? It should be a .iso, you will need something like imgburn or iso burner or nero to burn it.

Ya when we got this comp and cleaned it for my use we took out everything. Where can i get one of those programs?

imgburn and isoburner are free, google for them.

 

[Rawlaw]

k i got isoburner and opened it up with it. According to isoburner everything is as it should be but i am not finding a way to install it.
