Ok. I installed kubuntu a while ago.
Then I installed java.
Then I installed eclipse.
Eclipse f**ked up the kubuntu installation beyond repair
because it needs it's own java.
I have a deadline.
So I installed Windows.
While trying to change a drive letter it crashes.
It crashes when I try to log in in safe mode
It crashes when I try to log in in 'dos mode'
(wich happens to be safe mode with a cli autostarting)
I tried to recover the old working status.
Wich does nothing at all.
Then I try to repair it with the xp cd.
the automatic system repair utility asks for a diskette.
My laptop does not have a disk drive.
Then I click it away and further on, the installation
detects a windows is installed. I choose the option
repair the windows installation. After two hours installing dll's, the system reboots and crashes. The install utility gives me also the option to repair things using a cli (without windows). Wich I use. Trying to save at least my documents to my external hdd, the cli states 'acces denied'.
And I cannot use an linux live cd for that because ntfs is only readable (because of copyright sh*t). Well, I got still a rusty p200 laptop with win98 wich actually does work, so at least I can read my mail. One of these mails is a negative response to my applyment for a term of probation.
I need to print out other applyments on a printer but the printer doesn't work on my p200 laptop (drivers are xp only). And I had an appointment with someone who didn't show up. And.. and...
I.... I.... I....
am.....

Count yourself lucky. I have to use Fedora Core/KDE at work :lol:

Yes I have juggled more with Linux, slackware.
The whole x-windows system sucks big time.
*sigh* :cry:
Ok I got two bottles of liquor, though I think I'm going for tea.

Better down the liquor before you go for tea then!

Windows only runs propperley on an intel board with an intel chispet with an intel cpu. A conspiracy I tell ya! :lol:
-
My laptop has that plus an intel graphics chipset plus an intel network card.

Well, I got it up and running again, just completely reinstalled windows. It didn't dispose of my files so I can work again from where I was :-)
