This weekend I decided to install Knoopix linux to my HDD as I use it for texture processing (its super fast). I usually run it off a cd but my cd drive is starting to die so it was geting a bit slow. Anyway i installed it and it ran perfect took 3 mins to boot up first time as it had to load up all the drivers and stuff then i rebooted it took 3 seconds to go from mem check to linux desktop (sonic the hedhog speed) so i thawt brill now ill just get my internet dongle drivers the only thing was it didnt load it said no os found so i rebooted tried again this time it said file format not recognised and wudnt give me dos, so i went into linux and looked at the hdd's linux had only gone and formatted both drives into type3 or whatever it was so i undid what it did miracoulusly it didnt delete the data just changed the drives format so i thought great itll load now, did it buggery it kept saying there was prolems with the hal driver so i tried reinstalling xp the only thing is was it said the drive needed reformatting to fat32 or ntfs the only problem is with a in format you lose everything, thankfully all my software was backed up but none of my maps or other mod files and when i started the windows install i realised id left my key at my moms so ive been stuck all weekend with no inernet and no laptop, :( and now am havng to start the escape mod from scratch sorry guys, dont worry ive had time at the weekend to make a shed load of changes which are definately for the better, trust me, ill be leaving my original pics up for comparisons
Worse weekend ever
