    Oh my god! Its working again! :D I am so happy! Thank you so so much!

    I managed to remove the 64 bit OS but still had booting issues. I messed with the boot.ini and tried setting my windows XP to default rather than WINDOWS (which was default on boot menu). That didn't work, so I changed that back to WINDOWS. However I managed to fix it. For some reason there was a " /noexecute=optin /fastdetect" at the end of WINDOWS. I removed that and now everything is just as it was beforehand. Thank you all for your help :)

    Oh my god. I cannot believe I didn't think of that the partition manager T.T XD I will try it when I can, probably a few hours from now. However yes, it is indeed possible to boot via a USB. I did some research for ****s and giggles, and cam up with this:

    There is that and the USB boot option via the BIOS, so i would assume its possible. Minus my issues XD I have also read rumors that XP is not all that USB boot friendly, so most people do it with like windows 7 and linyx. I will get back to you on success or failure. I will probably try tonight. :)[DOUBLEPOST=1353124029][/DOUBLEPOST]
    I went into the partition manager and my C drive still only had its 1 partition. Everything else was my 2 disc drives and an E drive that might either be the floppy disc port or something from virtualbox or Daemon tools. However, I took the advice of Misty and took a look at my boot.ini. Loe and behold my theory was correct. Its seen as a multi boot. Meaning I should be able to remove it via the command prompt and everything should be sparkles and rainbows once more :) (Don't ask. First thing that came to mind XD)

    Well, I never wanted it to duel boot. I wanted the OS completely separate from my computer. Mainly because I only have the one hard drive. so rather than actually put it on my computer, I wanted it to be its own entity on a usb. so I went into my bios and turned on usb boot. however the main issue is it seems to have become multi boot to the computer, and it tries to load it even when its not there. I do not particularly care about the 64 bit OS atm, I just want it off my computer so by default my system only looks for the original 32 bit OS.

    Originally my intent was to just see how my computer ran on 64 bit os. Virtual machine didnt work due to the sharing of Ram and such being incificiant. so I wanted it to boot via USB

    Okay. Something that is a smidgen over my head. Just a smidgen XD

    Well, I have been dabbling in the realm of Virtual machines for awhile. Its all fine and dandy, does its job. But not quite perfectly. I wanted to test out my computer in a 64 bit way rather than my current 32 bit. I normally run Windows XP professional. I have 2 gig of ram, minimum required is 1 gig of ram i believe. Only 2 gig of ram to spare and to give a virtual machine half your ram or more causes a meditation error. So rather than emulate a computer (Oracle VirtualBox, BTW. Not particularly important.) I figured I would try to boot via USB.

    So I went into my computer's Bios and activated the USB boot option. Then I popped in my 64 bit install disc and went into setup. I got my drive ready (Dane-Elec 8GB, if it matters) and selected it to install the OS on. All went well, more than enough room, all files copied over, success left and right. Then it saved a configuration and restarted like any normal OS before activation.

    Computer came back on, I waited till the "press any key to load CD" passed and my USB started flashing and was being read. The 64 bit logo appeared and started loading before moments later it blue screened me. I do not have the stop code handy, but it was the one that 64 bits get when they can't access the boot device. I restarted and same thing, but a screen flashed. From the glimpse of what I saw, its a multi boot screen. There was an option to load my regular OS or the 64 bit. I couldn't load the 64 bit, so in the half second I have I spammed the down key to scroll to my regular OS and hit enter. Loe and behold, my regular OS boots without a problem.

    So I tried unplugging my USB, removing the disc, turning off USB boot, messing with boot order, nada. Every time I would get the multi boot for a brief second then a failed boot of 64 bit. So I have to be quick to actually turn on my computer. Any way to remove the 64 "install" from my computer? If I got this right, the OS is on the USB as expected. It just doesn't want to load. However, I believe the actual configuration is on my C: drive. So it goes into said configuration with an OS that isn't even there.

    Edit: Oh, and while looking up my computer specs I noticed a PCI Device that isn't properly and can't be re installed it cannot find necessary files even with the USB plugged in. Supposedly it pops up when a drive or piece of hardware is not properly detected. "Shocker" >.>

    Announcement: Summoning
    A bit of building upon the last update. Mostly on the topic of summoning. As you may or may not be aware, the summoning class is unique when it comes to passive and action abilities. Their skill tree has very few skills and attacks. Instead its filled with summons. The summoner will have a general progression of summons. Most summons will have an upgraded form. Some will not attack and be there for status effects. And there will be a special class of summons.

    With all these summons we intend to let the player name each summon. There will be a few powerful summons who you will not be able to name. Main example being the ultimate summon Rienzel posted about, along with several powerful (but not as powerful as the ultimate) summons in a similar category. We are currently working on deciding what summons we will have and what progression they will be in. More on the topic later to come hopefully :)
