Computers Screw Up

The other day I decided I wanted to be a geek and install Linux on my desktop. I thought I’ll throw in another hard drive and install it on there. Turns out that hard drive went bad, and the installation never really finished. (this was actually a long process) Then I come to find that windows will not boot because the linux boot loader never finished loading. So basically, I’m screwed, I thought “awesome.” I thought I had to go buy another hard drive and re-install windows or something, then try to get my data off the other hard drive.

Long story short, I found a 20 gb hard drive here, put it in, and loaded Fedora Core 3. Then after much troubleshooting and such, I was finally able to access my other harddrive with all my windows stuff on it. For now, I am saved. I’m just using Fedora Core 3 as my main operating system. I’ll get back to windows soonish (spring break is coming up) unless I find ways to make Linux work perfectly for everything I need and want.

Oh yeah, and I have some finals to study for, I’ll go do that.
