Hi first off id like to say, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH F***ING AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Now then, I feel like some body has came into my home and smashed F**k out of everything i own then went outside and set fire to my car. Reason being, I have spent the last 48 hours trying to burn a CD and trying to find a way around burning a CD, Frustratingly to no avail i have still not acheived burning the required CD.
The nightmare begins here!
Ok so i decide its time to re-install windows, Not a problem! Its easy done it 1000 times before, Ok lets backup my drivers and insert windows CD that i use every time i do a reinstallation and set my BOOT to CDROM.. Disk not reconised, No problem i guess the CD is very old ill just burn a new one, i insert a blank CD ready to burn windows xp, CD in drive proceed to burn .ISO with nero, SUPER EASY! HAPPY TIMES! No CD in drive nero says??? But yes the CD is in the drive, Lets try another burning app. Same result, Hmmmmm maybe my drive has died on me, lets try burning a DVD video, Sweet! Works no problem, lets just be double sure and burn a data DVD DL Sweet! 8GB of files all backed up ready for my new windows installation...Now lets try google to get to the bottom of it, Detailed my problem and from what i can read after maybe an hour looking into it the most likely scenario seems to be a problem with my drivers or a previous burning app that has now been uninstalled. my soloution: clear out any left overs from previous burning apps and check my drivers, cool all done, ill try again, Same BS problem, Time for drastic action burn vista to a DVD and install that then see if im able to burn a XP CD. after installing vista problem remains, Time for further searching found more people with the same problem, Looks like its easy fixed by upgrading drive firmware, done! still no burning CDs for me! lets try another drive, Bring on the screwdrivers, New drive installed same problem burn a dvd no problem still no CDs for me! Hmmmm maybe its these crappy discs, i go out and grab some new CDs, now lets try it again, NOPE! ok this is getting stupid, what shall i do, search the internet for other methods of installing windows, Lets try a usb installation its new to me but i guess it will get around my problem... Ok USB flash drive ready to go, time to change my bios to boot from USB, Done! Time to fire it up and get this installation underway once and for all, after sitting on a black screen for 5 minutes i think damn maybe i done somthing wrong, lets do it again double checking each step is covered, Done! Black screen in bios for another 5 minutes passes, Hmmmmm ok this is just getting beyond the joke, Luckally enough theres another way to get a windows installation going from a USB flashdrive, Ok thats all done lets try it again, no luck! and again, NO LUCK! lets try google to see if we can boot XP from a DVD instead. cool it can be done... following the instructions given step by step i finally burn my XP .ISO to a DVD and set my bios to boot from the DVD Drive. BLACK SCREEN AGAIN! OMFG!!!! LETS DO ANOTHER, Same F***ING problem. Ok lets try another way of doing it with this other burning app i found online No luck with that, Oh what an idiot i am, maybe the problem is with the windows im actually trying to install, i repeat the full process of trying different ways with another windows package, SAME PROBLEMS... But my drive actually burns a CD of xp :D FINALLY THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, lets get this installed now eh!..... Drive not reading disc :O FFS! lets try the other dvd drive, SAME F***ING BASTARD PROBLEMS AGAIN!!!!!! Seriously im only trying to burn a F***ING CD. As anyone else would, I said F**K THIS F***ING BULLS**T, I plan to go out today and buy another Drive, not sure how that will help but if it dont ill go out and buy a F***ING sledge hammer and P*ss allover the remains of my PC.
Any help would probably be no use.
Thanks for reading.

Don't be like the guy who when feeling depressed, called the Suicide Hotline and got a Call Centre in Kabul - he told them he was suicidal and they got all excited and asked him if he could drive a truck.
