I think you will find that at present both Mikkel and I are enjoying time with our families, it being easter and all.
Yes - I totally understand that. Simply posting that stuff because i have the head space to do it.
We will assist you no matter what you decide but I believe you need to make a choice that suits you yourself first.
I'm prepared to wait - but *very* aware of the time people put into this, and feel very humbled by it. Also not "my thing" to be dependent ..
Either re-install or repair.
I believe you will learn heaps more of linux if you should attempt your own linux installation recovery [ albeit with our assistance ] rather than going for the re-install.
I agree
But this must be your choice.
Should you decide to go for a rescue attempt then lets start at the beginning and get some tools organized whilst you are still within windows.
Try doing this: search for, download and burn to floppy the "tomsrtbt" image. You will need rawrite or possibly rawrite2 to do this within windows. Have a read of what you find.
While within windows send us a copy of /etc/lilo.conf ~ a copy of /etc/fstab [ not /etc/fstab.save ] ~ and a copy of your /etc/inittab
At present, I take it that you cannot even get to the login screen ?
No - stalls at ALSA, and don't think it is a sound problem. Will do the above ...
