bzarcherAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHFUCK.
The reinstall didn't help. Now it says that the HDD doesn't have enough space for patching Galaxies. This is a 40 gig drive with 28 gigs free.
I'm worried that it might mean that this means the HDD is going to fail, which sucks. I may have to borrow an external USB or Firewire drive to back up the several gigs of music and research I'd like to save.
I am starting to plan just how much I'd need to stop re-using or re-furbing parts, and just buying a totally new machine, all new parts, top to bottom. Build it, run it, and not worry about it.
Fuckfuckfuckfuck. Got a suggestion to try changing out the IDE cables for some spares. Did so. And now it won't recognize any of the IDE devices.
Tried booting with just one IDE device plugged in, tried booting with the old cables again. No change.
I'm getting just a bit frustrated.
