Always back up your hard drive before making system changes. (repeat 100 times) Well la big disk crash. Yet again. Will never trust a piece of software again as long as I. Linux was wiped too. I get set to back up la disk after upgrading la system and woe and beholden I go fer walk and come back to a froze systemo. I reboot and no more C drive. I try to boot Linux and it will not get to Lilo. I look with partition magic and no more partition drive. What would wipe Linux and borg? A bios bug? CIH virii? Linux reports a system with the first part of the partition higher cylinder than the last. Sounds like a partition mixer bug. Could it have been electrical? One symptom was my D drive started filling up just before the backup. I emptied some files and it filled up again. (It had only a few megs left) I figured it was an artifact of the tape backup system, some kind of temp file thing, so I ignored it. So I back in business. sans wheel mouse and win 98. I figure if that got me there I stay with early borg and take my lumps. Still haven't got Applix to play with yet. all my Linux files were lost as I had no back up for Linux. EC<:-}
