Cheers brun. It allowed my live feed from your bathroom. I'm so bleak about it.

The Intel Pentium G3258 is the new bargain processor (available for under £50). It's an unlocked 3.2Ghz that can be overclocked to 4.8Ghz and even though it's only 2 core, it can rival much more expensive cpu's.

so i got fed up and decided a full re install was needed last night.

Now its not even letting me into windows. Boot up bar, then blank.

Ubuntu is ok. I managed to install comodo AV but i cant get it to scan the windows partition for the shite in there. Suggestions?

Your MBR is probably toast.

Recent versions of windows don't like to be installed onto discs with preexistence operating systems.

You could try installing onto a clean disc - no partitions, no data.

If you want to install Ubuntu onto it, you're going to have to mess around with the grub2 bootloader.

Or just install Ubuntu, and run windows as a virtual machine, should you ever need it.

I need win for the vpn... which is a total waste right now.

Oh, i didnt manage to actually reinstall. This shit all happened before i could.

You don't need windows for a VPN.

PIA says that it does.

remember, i need simples. If they say so then i believe so

fuck it... Just ordered a new ssd

This one i will beat with a fucking rock

Dude, staaahp buying pointless and useless shit!

what else am i supposed to do then dude

That depends - What are you trying to achieve?

heightened sense of belonging

Will a hug do?

I want a media/ home theatre system to watch movies and keep all my digital photos.

hugs are always welcome. you know that

Install Ubuntu.

How do you want to use a VPN?

Do you even?

Do you want to tunnel from or to the machine? Does it need to act as server or client?

both... i guess.

I want it to be a media machine PC. Not a server. Not a client.

i want to use the vpn for torrents basically.

You want a VPN client.

Use a provider that supports openvpn.

Choose a country that won't just hand over your name when then copyright stasi come knocking.

I've set up VPN using PrivateInternetAccess fine on Ubuntu, there's a guide on their website. (Actually done it on a HP Proliant fine). https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#ubuntu_openvpn_installer

Alternatively, I'd boot into Ubuntu using a live CD, format the HDD and install WHS from clean.
