My computer fucked up this morning. It keeps restarting at the same point while it boots up.
Result: I am currently running off of Damn Small Linux as I try to figure out how to format my computer, install Windows ME or 98, run a key-generator, then install Windows XP.
How do I have such a detailed plan? It's happened before.
The most annoying thing is that my rather large music collection that I have downloaded off of iTunes will be lost, apart from the small amount of it (most of which I have in CD form, anyway) that I have on my MP3 player. And that doesn't even go into the amount of saved games, homework and songs that I've written that will be lost.

Couldn't you try playing around with your boot-up program to see if you can get it to skip whatever's making the computer crash? Is that even possible anymore? I haven't tried it since the days of Windows 3.1

You can't access the HDD through Linux?
schimmy:
That's what I'm currently trying to find out, öde, let's just say me and Linux don't get on. I was raised on the far more intuitive windows.
Is there anyone on this board who has any idea of what I should be doing?

Intuitive? Retarded.
Anyway, you should be able to look up anything you need about linux on the internets.
You should be able to view your windows files by going into a terminal and type:
sudo mkdir /win
sudo mount -t ntfs /win/ /dev/hda1
If that doesn't work, change the number (it's the number of the partition, 0 is usually boot while the second one is your main storage).
"C:" should show up in /win/
It's been a while since I've been on linux, so I might have forgotten something.
