Attempting to reinstall my OS and Reformat....
Hegelian:
Hmmm . . . .
1) Have you already reformatted the disk, so there's nothing on it? Some versions of Windows setup will automatically reformat the drive before installing (or at least ask if you want to),while others will only reinstall/refresh an existing installation if there is one. It sounds like you need to install to a clean drive.
2) Does your motherboard have a VIA chipset? A Google search turns up no mention of "viasrai.sys" and it's not a file I have on my Intel-based PC. The via in viasrai.sys makes me think you do have a VIA chipset, and it may be that you need to install the chipset drivers before you can install Windows (or at least during the early stages of installing Windows). :P
After poking around VIA's Web site, I'm guessing the missing file is viasraid.sys, which would be the RAID/SATA driver for your chipset.

Yeah, that was a typo. It was a viasraid.sys file that's missing, but I've kinda given up on trying to fix it on my own. I obiviously am not teh awesomer. Just going to take to someone who is more awesome than I and have them fix me up right.
It would've been nice if that respawn disc I got actually worked. Charged me 40 bucks for it and it does jack.
Stupid Alienware.

Jelenedra, you need to persevere! The first time I opened SimPE, I thought, hell, I'll never understand this, it's so technical! Now, I won't say I understand it now, but I can do a lot more with it than I could back then, and only because I'm obstinate!
Jelenedra:
I am getting better. I was so afraid of SimPe for the longest. Then I learned how to add genetic codes to custom skintones and using SimPe was the only way. Had to swallow my fear and suck it up. Now I got binned hairs and genetic friendly skintones. Whoo!
I just got to get smarter about my OS.
ZephyrZodiac:
I suppose to some extent it depends on what you can afford to do - if you can't afford to pay someone, you have to learn or go without!
Mind you, I just hope I don't have to reinstall for a good while yet, the thought scares me as I have so much stuff I don't want to lose sitting on my second HD, and although I've been assured that reformatting my main drive and reinstalling the OS won't affect theat drive, I just don't really believe it - and I'm not really able to get the case off and unplug the 2nd drive these days. (I can't even do a system restore back very far as all my darn restore points have disappeared - which seems to happen at regular intervals! (Annoying, the things are still around, taking up space, but I can't use them!
