I swear I'm a masochist, cause every 6 months or so I get the bug up my ass to try linux yet again to see how its developing because I wouldn't mind dropping windows if I could.
So, Today...I download the Fedora Core 4 DVD iso, burn the ISO, and run the install on my secondary harddrive which was going to be totally linux.
I do the thing where it checks the disk integrity before installing, Then I run the install.
Install completes completely, I take out the disk, I reboot.... Grub HD error.
Okay, fine. Maybe it just fubared after the first time.
So I wipe the drive and install again, same setup, Same end result. Grub HD error.
I run the disk integrity checker again, this time the disk comes back with damaged files.
How the fuck that happened...Who the hell knows.
So, I go and download ubuntu instead.
Download completes, burn the ISO to a CD and boot to it.
Boots fine, I run the integrity checker, it reports fine.
So I go with the install...and whadya know? The install errors in the first quarter and stops.
Oh great, I run the integrity checker again...and just like the damn Fedora DVD, This one magically got corrupted between the first check, and this check.
So here I am, out 2 disks [ a loss in cash I can't really afford ] with broken installs on them, and now my 13Gig which was supposed to be the linux drive is not even appearing in windows to be reformated.
Up and disappeared like a fart in the breeze.
Probably ahve to get a boot disk and delete the partition information with fdisk to get the drive back to use for XP.
Bah, Every damn time I try linux its like this...Something goes wrong. Always. Tho this is the first time during the install.
and yes, I have the most recent nero updates for Nero 6 Ultimate, and yes I burned the files as images.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
