| so, My neighbor has declared my data unrecoverable without huge computer voodoo from microsoft since i have XP home, not pro. So I lose 4.5 gigs of music/videos and all my program installations/saved games, poopy. So I am going to reformat and get all that space back, I think I'm gonna run Linux, or winXP with http://www.knoppix-std.org/ - http://www.knoppix-std.org/ as my main OS and windows as a backup. whatcha think? |

What did you do to the computer? Can it burn CDs? It will only take 6 or 7 data CDs to burn the 4.5 GB onto...
By the way, 4.5GB isnt a lot to lose... ------------- ///AMG What? |
