Oh yeah. The linux partition was hosed before I started this thread. I
was just wondering if there was anything I could do for future
reference. They were definitely restore cd's. I should have mentioned
that first. But its disapointing, since every new computer comes only
with restore cd's. Actually, its not even that anymore. I helped my dad
buy a new computer recently and there is only a restore partition! I
mean, how cheap can you get! What if the disk goes bad? Anyway, I was
leary to start uninstalling all the shite that comes on a new computer
because I've never backed up windws from a 'restore partition' before.
I'm sure its pretty easy though. Sorry, windows just gets my blood
boiling.
