Computer raeg

Post by KingRaptor »

So I come home one day, start up my damnfool Dell Dimension 4700. Oops, assuming I can get it to not fail with annoying beeping sounds, XP gets stuck on a black screen after startup (there's a little mouse cursor I can move around, but nothing else actually happens).

"meh, might as well get around to reinstalling Ubuntu"

So I put in my live CD, start up the install process, that kind of stuff. Only when it gets to the Partition Manager, it gives me two options: Guided: Use entire disk and Manual. The other Guided option is conspicuously absent.

Being a very not-smart person, I choose to use the entire disk. Which happens to be the bigger of the two HDDs I have, and the one with all my important data. Every byte of it. Not a single backup anywhere else, because I was much too lazy to burn several DVD-RWs.

And now my stupid Dell won't even boot Ubuntu, so I don't even have anything to show for it.

i think the poll is slightly biased

Also check for harddrive recovery software if you really need the data

Yeah, go on the dell website and order all the components separately and assemble them together when they arrive. It will cost more but you'll have the good name of dell printed on all your parts.
