quote:

A loose female acquaintance of mine calls me at 1:00am today and asks me if I could print something on the computer for her and bring it over in the afternoon. "Hey yeah sure sure, whatever you need I'll help you, I'm all yours," I tell her. She sends me this file and lo and behold I can't open it. It's made in Microsoft Publisher and I don't have that program so I begin panicing, trying to find this program or a way to print the file. Scouring the internet yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my room.

I finally come up with an idea and I tell the girl, if I can proceed with it. The plan was I would carry my printer about 2miles to her house, print out the needed pages, maybe talk to her a bit while I was there. I was hoping for at least a hug out of this ordeal.

By the time I get there, I'm wet all over from sweating in the +90 degree heat outside and carrying a heavy motherfucking HP Deskjet printer. The first thing I see upon entering her room (my first time in a girl's bedroom) are some panties on her bed.

After the initial shock of seeing such a horrific sight for the first time, I setup the printer and get my job done. However, I did consider sniffing the lingere when she left the room once, but with the wuss that I am, I just ended up staring at them the whole while. That was a sarcastic joke for those of you too stupid to realize that

To make a long story short, just as I was finishing up with the printing job (which was hefty), her boyfriend and his gay friend walk in, say hello, and begin hanging out in the room as they waited for the girl to finish this work so they could go to the mall.

This effectively ruins my chances of getting a hug and I walk another 2 miles home with the motherfucking printer in hand. The only thing that I got out of this were some very painful fingers and a "thanks" as I walked out her bedroom door.

So, am I pathetic for doing all these things? It wouldn't be the first time I've pledged my heart and soul to a girl and gotten back almost nothing in return. I would hate turning her or anyone else I knew down or making up some lie.

trying to replace blu-ray with hdd, win10x64 laptop

put new drive in caddy, replace optical drive with caddy

nice fit, snug feels good (do i cum in it?)

reboot... shows windows logo...

nothing

pull it out reboot, still can't boot but can at least get to pre-boot diagnostics, from there nothing works

replace optical drive and it boots fine

tl;dr why doesn't my laptop like this drive/why does it need the blu-ray to boot?

i can't get that far

windows screen -> nada

if i hit f2 real fast it might beep before just sitting there but no bios

safe mode wouldn't run with an empty bay

guess i'll try removing the driver then

That's weird.

Go into the bios with the bd drive plugged in then disable its sata port and remove it from the bootlist, then try plugging the hdd in and reversing the steps.

lol this bios is so bad that's not an option

I can only change boot order

it does see the new hdd briefly with verbose boot enabled but hangs after mouse initialized

it's checking the old hosed boot disk rn

might end up swapping the old out entirely

something is fucky cuz intel's driver update fails with an unknown error

might try a bios update specific to the board

how is it that you can't get into the bios because it's booting into windows

if you're on windows 10, boot into windows, hold shift, click shut down, put the drive in, start the machine

like i said it can hang to a blank screen if i hit f2 quickly enough or on the windows logo right after

once it enumerated the drives so i know it sees it

i removed the drivers for the bd like pinball wizard suggested and got it to where it could boot with only the original hdd in but then it got to where it went in to repair mode every time so it's currently resetting

i'd have made a repair stick earlier if i was expecting this so i could just replace the old hdd and boot from that but i'll have to wait for the reset

e: reset broke at 30% undid itself and now it's trying auto repair again e2: back in, making repair stick to install Windows on new drive as ide:0

it's done this before and recovered somehow

Windows shouldn't be hanging up trying to enumerate a device that isn't there - I'm more inclined to think something maybe is up with the new drive. Is the new hard drive known to be good, have you attached it to any other machines?
