Well today, the 31st I got my DS3 and hoped to just slap together the PC and have it work... bad thing is:

It wasnt so easy....

I decided to make things cleaner while setting up my RAID for the Raptors to format the Primary 30GB Partition of my 250GB HDD and merge the partition with PM8.. it went pretty smoothly until the end when it gave me two 1520 errors and now the drive is not acessable under windows so I installed my GDB to relaize I installed hte one I didnt buy so I didnt have the key for it which wasted an hour and a half of my time, but this is what I had to do:

Go through the whole " Scanning the HDD" part for about an hour and 45 minuets

Dig through my HDD to find my back up of MY Version of GDB

Un install the version I don't own which wont let me copy files while leaving it up so I can install the older version

install the older version

close the newer one

open the old one, run it for 2 hours (still in progress)

THEN copy all data to my raptors

change drive letters for the 250GB Slave to D: and change the RAID-0 Raptors to C:

format the 250GB back up drive

push all of the crap off of the raptos onto the back up drive

AND THEN I CAN BE HAPPY AND FINALLY I CAN INSTALL MY VIDEO DRIVERS!!!!

lol... Thank you norton, for screwing up the more important thing I have ever used you on... (Just yesterday I converted my grandmothers ACER laptop harddrive to NTFS from FAT32 after merging the partitions and nothing bad happend to her :() /rant

So I started copying most of my files then the PC BSOD'd and I decided to play with a few things in the BIOS like bringing my RAM up to its actual speed... I did but forgot to up the voltages so the PC wouldn't start... SO... I reset the CMOS and to my surprise, I'm greeted by the Missing HAL file so I decided to just format again because I don't know hoe to use the repair console...
 
here I am, I have been working on my PC Since 3:20PM on the 31st and it is now 5:20AM of the 1st and I still have 2 hours left...
