Is it just *ME*!?
I tried the suggestion for doing an update install of the Mandrake 8.1 and the whole thing went *HAYWIRE*! For some reason, it still wanted to mess around with *partitions*! I got mixed up and must've clicked the wrong button and it destroyed my partitions set up... Totally unrecoverable!... My regular windows boot couldn't even *see* the C:\ drive! I lost GIGABYTES and GIGABYTES of data!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the past 4 hours I have been salvaging my machine. I am up and running again (thanks to a recent move to making backups of at least *some* of my stuff) Oh, but the *LOSS*!!!!! :o( I *really* want this to work... but I can't help feeling I'm just a dumb prick to be meddling in things beyond my ken! But... on the positive side, I have a fresh new machine, with 10 GIGABYTES of free space on it (where before I had around 200MB)... and I'm at the stage where I can do a 'from scratch' install of Mandrake 8.1 (hopefully with some guidance so as to avoid another mishap... or disaster mor like). I want to re-install... but I'm totally scared I blow it all to hell again.... At least now I've a *lot* less to loose. Oh Man. That really freaked me out. ...GIGABYTES...
