Before, I stated that I was switching over to linux but severely annoying events have lead me to using winsux again.
My first install of Mandrake 9 worked until the next day where I switched on my computer to find this nice message "EBDI to big to fit in memory" and the boot disk not working.
I reinstalled and it worked and I got OpenGL working but then I rebooted to remove a hard-drive that was inside my computer casing but not plugged in and when my computer started I got a random junk error message.
I inserted my Mandrake 9 install CD and found out that my partition table had been corrupted and it appeared as there was 80+ 300mb linux swap partitions.
It took me a day and at least 6 different error messages before I could get this to boot off the hard-drive again.
I must be cursed. :mad:

That's what happens when you insult the bobs.

Fuck bob. Go Jesus, and his mighty trumpets of good!
P.S
It has come to my attention that some people actually belive that I'm a religious nutcase. I'm not. I just like to mention Jesus a lot because I find mentioning him very funny. Especially to my very religious teachers.

its true, its completely true. But you probably touched something while statically charged and fuck up the partition table while takin out the other hard drive

However my 80gig has protection around itself and the drive i removed was on the bottom bit of the case and the other drive was in the top bit - so I dont think it is that.
