Okay i could be fucked i need some info

Dude,

Ofcourse it will detect a non DOS OS...Windows does not recognise Linux partitions....There is a strong possibility that your data in the Linux partition is STILL intact. If u can mount it on another Linux box, then nothing like it. In any case, if the FAT/NTFS partition is wiped, u can always recover 99.9% of the stuff. But that's another case all together.

Dude,

Get hold of a firewall!! This one is very good...
www.agnitum.com It's free and filters most of the malacious stuff. I had been using it for a long time and Windows nerver gave trouble. Btw, I didn't even install anti-virus....

Dude,

Just to add...When using Outlook/OE, block all kinds of scripting for these e-mail clients. U will the option in Internet options OR install the firewall I mentioned..

I looked at the drive using linux and it said basically the drive is totally free, it needs a format for windows to look at it.

I never use Outlook i use Mozilla mail.  MS Office wasn't installed, its likely that the culprit was Kazaa, bastards.  If i could only punch the virus writer, ahhh, it still wouldn't be enough though.

Thankyou for the suggestions i will look them all up.  In all reality its my own fault, the quicker i accept it the faster i will learn, trouble is i told my gf not to use windows while on the net as it is bad, instead use SuSE.  I am a victim of not taking my own advice!  Her PC is still running doing fine.

Is there any chance of getting Kazaa to work on linux without all this virus shit affecting me?

The worst part of all this is i have a nice new FireWire CDRW drive sitting here waiting for me to back up everything worse still is the fact i am waiting for the firewire laptop card!

If it only came sooner!

Also anyone know if an Iomega CDRW FireWire drive will run under linux?

It is probable that the virus just wiped your partition table.  In this case, all linux data is ok but the computer doesn't know it is there

If you have the partition numbers available, you can use the linux fdisk to redefine the partitions.  I write these numbers down now and keep them in a file folder in case some unforseen disaster strikes.

I don't know if you have these numbers, but it is actually pretty amazing how the data is undamaged when you "delete" a partition.

Dude,

I hope u have'nt deleted or formated the linux partition..

kazaa? kazaam must be the noise to describe throwing it in the trashcan, i have a lower opionin of kazaa user's then those fucking bearshare leachers/*gtk-gnutella users however, almost always have good files and quick downloads*/. as for your mp3's, what did you lose, i happen to have plenty of "backups"

Something called Limewire    
www.limewire.com

You still have to tell us what kind of music it is so we can see if we have it (me and chaos)

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

No i havn't formatted the drive yet, linux reads it all as free.

The mp3's are not that much of a problem, its just copying them again, i have about 90% on disk anyway but they are old backups.

What fileshare programs can i get for SuSE, can i get any at all?

[choasforages]

lime wire, mutella, phex, quetella

and my favorite, GTK-Gnutella. the 0.91.1 release is amazing. it has a lot of bug fixes, and sweet features like swarming, sha1 url searches, and is realiable. and did i mention it is very very fast unlike that java based gnutella client. supposedly their is a way to use wine to use kazaa, but kazaa can go to hell. a proprietary piracy network, now it really sounds rediculus?  did i mention that gtk-gnutella is very reliable. it can run for days and days. my computer crashes before it does./*i hate hardware problems*/

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

Wonderful, i'm downloading LimeWire right now.

Other than that thanks for an education guys.

Yup, you can run "KaZaa Lite" in Linux. You need a few extra DLLs, but I got'em... Give me your email (PM or just publicly with a [nospam] sign) addy and I'll send you a tarball containing everything (the wine config, extra DLLs, etc).

EDIT: whoops, didn't see second page...

personally I can't stand the java based LimeWire.  It took about 3 hours just to read my shared files directory; the entire time it churned the disk intermittently and slowed everything else down.  And it never saved the results, so everytime I restarted it it would have to read them again.  Gtk-gnutella is much better.  I never have problems with it.  Nicer interface too   .
