Maximus_Lazarus Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's stupid really . I have flaming cliffs and lomac . But, for flaming cliffs i need to install lomac . So, i have to : 1) Install lomac 2) Install Flaming Cliffs 3) Install DCS world . There's got to be an easier way [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeh Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I don't think you need to install flaming cliffs, just lomac? lomac -> dcsw -> fc3 should do the trick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus_Lazarus Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Disk unbootable, now i upgraded to : Intel 3770K (on Corsair H80i watercooling) Asrock extreme 4 Some 2x4 GB 1600 mhz Ram New PSU (1000 watt coolermaster) Samsung 250 GB SSD drive (god i love that one) Two GTX 680's in SLI Oh, p.s : I do have one technical question about windows ... I now have 2 hard drives, and both still have windows on them installed. And i want to format them and use them for recording and stuff . BUT, i'm afraid, that if i connect one of the disks to my computer, the windows installation on the old disk, will interfer with my brand new installation on my SSD drive. How can i safely format those 2 spare HDD's ?? Edited February 27, 2013 by Maximus_Lazarus [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 connect them, and set bios to boot to the HDD channel your SSD is on, in windows, after it loads drivers for the disks, reboot if prompted, back in windows, and goto disk properties and choose format.

Maximus_Lazarus Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I've read many forum posts that that does not work. It seems that windows won't let you format a windows partition, it's a safety feature . I'm gonna try something else , i'll disconnect my main hard drive, so i'm 100% sure it doesn't get corrupted by some faulty windows install on another disk. Then i insert the old disk, boot up from DVD, pretend to do a fresh install on the old disk . Make it format the disk from the windows DVD. Then when it's done formatting, turn off the machine :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) You can format a windows partition as long as it isnt ACTIVE (meaning the system BOOTED from it), I do it all the time when I move/transition/upgrade.

Boot the USB stick, wipe the drives, Write zeros to them, then format them in windows.
