Hey guys,

I had everything ready to reinstall my OS. I like to do this every 6 months. Even though I've done it several times, I am having a problem that I can not figure out. I go to the BIOS and change my boot order to the CD rom. Then I restart my PC. It comes up and says "press any key to boot from CD". I do this, and install of getting the blue install screen, Windows XP launches. I can't figure out how to get to the screen where I can reformat my hard drive. Can someone help get me going?

Thanks.

I am no longer singing the praises of Ps3. I have no faith in this console anymore. Every upcoming release is getting delayed. A week ago, we had one single game to look forward to in the next several weeks. That game was strangehold. Now I see that it has been pushed back again to the end of Oct. So we only have Folklore to look forward until Thanksgiving!!!

Optimistically, Nov will be one heck of a month as all these games are pushed to this one month.

Realistically, every game will get delayed or not released. A year from now, PS3 will be a dead console. I am selling mine immediately if things don't improve.

Yes, you are right. I do own Baldur's gate, the PC series and console. I made it through about 30 minutes of the first game. lol

As for credit at Gamestop, one nice thing about shelving these old games is that quite a few of them have become valuable as they are out of print. I sold the Heroes of Might and Magic collection for 80 bucks a few months ago, and my Squaresoft RPGS brought in anice profit. The majority of old games are worthless, but I only buytop rated games so ya never know. I've become more of a collector than gamer, but it saddens me that these FPS games from 10 years ago are just too unplayed due to horrible graphics.

Here is my problem. Too many games, and not enough time. I need to come up with a strategy to maximize the best gaming experience in the shortest amount of time.

My problem really goes back 10 years ago in the Ps1 generation. My first PS1 game was FFVII and I swore that I would not buy a new game until I completed the previous one. Well, I finished the FF and bought Colony Wars as my next game. Then my plan fell apart. Colony Wars was fun, but it got boring and repetitious so I bought another new game, and before I knew it, sequels to Final Fantasy were out along with Final Fantasy Tactics. Then I really got into PC gaming, and the strategy games like Civilization and Heroes of Might and Magic ate up most of my time.

I found myself continuing to play Starcraft online, but finally broke that addiction a few years ago with Soldier of Fortune 2 and BF1942 came out. I have yet to find a satisfying online experience like these games. Warhawk is just too frustrating for me.

I have yet to complete a RPG since FVII which is pretty sad.Many of the PC games that I own are so dated that it would be hard to enjoy the experience with the crappy graphics. I have about 100 PC games, 50 Xbox games, 6 Ps1 games, 20 Ps2 games ,and now 6 PS3 games. How do you guys find the time, and still be good at online?

My real question is should I just sell and dump all the old games, and just play the new generation, or would it be worthwhile to slog my way through all the old stuff? I was thinking it would be fun to play all the Medal of Honor games, but the first would may be a huge eye sore. Iwould really like to play the wholeSoul Reaver series inorder, but I wonder how the graphics would look nowdays. I remember when it came out for Ps1 and I was blown away.
