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/ as my main OS and windows as a backup.  whatcha think?

most of the songs were either from my friends CD's or DL'd from BT, and the videos were all free paintballclips and a few TV shows

EDIT: I'm getting lost in the linux jungle, whats a good free install?

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...

It's gone, after instaling SP2, all my old data was lost, but still taking up HD space, its inaccessible, im using a new windows install right now.

Extra poopy, i just tried to see if my itunes still worked with my Ipod and now my Ipod has no music left on it! WTH?

Microsoft claims another one.

I use Suse when i actually want to use linux. Which is rarely, because it sucks.
