Computer raeg
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.

Re: Computer raeg
i think the poll is slightly biased
Also check for harddrive recovery software if you really need the data

No, but there is a hidden "caydr is a fag lol" option
Re: Computer raeg
I speculate you're making that up.

Re: Computer raeg
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.

And then you will bow your head in shame.
