I need a sign on my desk that says, No John, don't install OS, You'll screw up everything.
That's the way it's been for me.
So tonight I tried to give linux another go, and this time I tried Arch Linux. Problem being that I chose the wrong partition to format as ext3, and also somehow ended up with a 93 gig swap partition where / was going to be mounted (I have no idea how that happened). The wrong partition ended up being my Windows XP partition.
So he's the run down right now:
I'm about to install XP x64 on a open 10 gb partition so I can have recovery software running.
The area where the partition was is at the 300GB end of a 1TB drive.
I'm really not sure where to go from here.
Thank you for whatever help you can give me
