Linux @ Home - What a botch up
OK, so after some positive use of Suse Gnome @ work on Virtual Machine, I decided to try it out at home. Had my Vista do a complete backup not too long ago, and figured, hey it should be ok. But NO, it was not.
Firstly, Linux started the install, and I noticed it was going to redo my partitions, & I could not change the partition configuration to suit myself. Not happy, ok, not a problem, have not gone too far, restart computer.
Please insert Disk,? What the! Ohhh no, restart PC, noticed that my Raid system had FAILED. Ohh no, what have I done. Okay, so go and delete raid and recreate. Hopefully it will be ok.
Restart PC, with Vista dvd in, boot from that and go to Complete PC Restore. Hmm, seems to be OK. I almost cannot beleice my eyes, it starts restoring Disk1. Stoked with this endevour I start watching a movie while this continues, Disk2 has started, nearly the end of the movie. Disk3 starts, looking great, need another movie. Disk4, Whoo, this ones huge. Well it does have all my crap on it. 2nd movie finishes, hmm, is it still going, looks about 80% done. Cannot move mouse, NOOOOOOOoooooo. Damn computer crashed. I was almost home free.
