Yes, it's happening exactly what you are saying. I'm freaked out, because today i tried to install Left 4 Dead, but i got an error message during installation, something about a sound file missing or damaged (I know the problem is not the game, for i have seen similar errors in other games). Then, after the unsuccessful installation I tried to erase the folder created in my new HDD, but couldn't. Everytime i tried to, the program just stopped responding, so i had to format it again. I'm getting very frustrated...

Maybe programs need to be on the same partition as Windows :? They write to the registry so i'm guessing they can't be on a separate partition.X360PS3AMD05
Yup, that's what i was thinking. But if it's true and games need to be in the same partition as the OS, is there something i can do? I don't have enough space in my old HDD to install one game, and even if i move all my stuff to the new HDD, i'd still have little space for game installation, so i really want to install games in my new HDD.

No, in disk management I only formatted the new HDD, I didn't create any partition.

I've tried to do what you said, but still can't install games. During installation the progress bar suddenly stops and after a couple of minutes i get an error message, it's weird because the error it's not the same in every game, for exampe, in Red Alert i get an error that ask me to make sure that V00AS or something is correct (it's a file from the game, but i don't see any problem with it), and with Dead Space i get a time limit expired error.

About the 2nd answer, You are right, i thought that i only needed to connect the new HDD and format it, i don't know if i did something wrong. It's like if the new drive were working as a USB device or something.

Hi guys, I recently bought a new HDD (Western Digital 500gb 7200rpm SATAII). It's the first time i buy another HDD for my rig, so I know little about installing HDDs.

I didn't have problems installing it, i just plugged the SATA and the power connectors, and then i formattted it. Btw i'm using Vista.

Now i can see the second SATA drive in my computer, the problem is that it seems that i can use it only for storage. I can't install games and other programs (i get different error messages such as time limit expired). Also, sometimes it takes a lot of time to move stuff from the older hdd to the new one (the old one is a WD 250gb SATA).

What can i do? Do i need to make partitions or install the OS in the new drive or something?

I'd really appreciate any help.

[QUOTE="teardropmina"][QUOTE="SQUILTHEONE"]

SQUILTHEONE

has been on consoles forever and so is the main fan base. YOU want JRPG on PC, which is fine, but it doesn't seem like a "really good reason" for JRPG dev. and publishers to do so.

then i think that i should stop spending my money on my pc and go get ps3

Yup, you must quit pc gaming and buy a PS3 with Resistance: Learning English.

??

I've enabled the Developer's Console, but it just doesn't open. I press the ~ button, but nothing happens. I even tried remapping to other key, but still nothing.

When I press the Console key (default or remapped) the only thing i see is that the two "-----------------" in the menu are highlighted.

Sry guys but, what i'm i doing wrong :question:

Update.
Now i could open the console by selecting Properties -> Set Launch Options -> "-console". But if i close it, i can't bring it back.

By using the command "connect (IP)" it seems that now it actually attempts to join the server, but all i get is an error message "Disconnected after 4 attempts" or something like that. :cry:

Thanks guys. I'll look for tech support as well, kieranb2000.

Believe me, I've googled it and i've read of some people who have the same problem, but haven't seen a solution.

I'll try joining a server using the console, but if someone knows what the heck is my problem, i'd be very thankful.
