[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	have an answer , do it right . No seriously , you have to tell us what your problem is. You can just put in the cd and boot from that to install windows , no need to format before. -----signature----- Naia Ra-Sal lvl 262 Warlord of Dereth Vainda Ra-Sal lvl 275 Shellfish Hater Xavia Ra-Sal lvl 250 Vaindas Oil Slave Max Speced Armor Tink , Max speced Weapon Tink makingothershappy.blogspot.com

	when your computer boots up, bang on the delete key until you get into the setup screen... find your boot options and make sure it looks something like this 1st CDROM 2nd HDD 3rd there might be something else here... who knows =P make sure you save and exit CMOS, then pop the windows xp cd in... when it's booting it will pop up a thing in DOS that says Boot From CD-ROM: (it will kind of wait here) press enter when you see this some computers you have to press enter, and some you don't, just press it to make sure... at this point your computer will start the install of windows XP and you will eventually come to a point where you can format the drive (i use NTFS QUICK option) good luck =X -----signature----- Aragorn Olafsun - Life/Bow LC Frion - lvl Battle mage LC Mindgame' - DT Burning Vitae - DT
