Posted on June 25, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I’ve heard linnux is best when when it comes to do with anything and everything about computers. like forinstance, digging up old files on hard drives that have been formatted and written over numerous times. don’t remember the name of it, but I like a year ago, a friend had shown me this linux live cd. I think it had like a black desk top/background..?? he said it was like the next best thing to what the FBI uses. (also good for formatting.) anyone know the name of that?? or does anyone know of any other free software?? thanks, all

If I unplug my Hard drives ect, boot up a linux live cd and go to websites that have virus is that safe?

Thanks
I think it is safe as I unplugged all my hard drives so the virus has no where to go once I reboot?

I have a Dell Poweredge 2550 server with 5 hard drives, only one of which I have not had trouble with.?

Posted on June 7, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

Removing Grub Bootloader?

Posted on May 24, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

Ok, so we have a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu and Windows on two Hard Drives (XP on one, Linux on the Other) Well, it was working beautifully, well, me and my friend decided that we were gonna try to make our own linux using Linux From Scratch, well, that wiped the Hard Drive (the Linux one) so we gave up after having difficulties, well, now when we try to boot into windows, we get the Grub screen, and it says “GRUB Loading stage1.5.
“GRUB loading, please wait…..
Error 15
then nothing happens, we don’t have a Ubuntu live CD anymore, and i think i can get a windows recovery CD, we also have a USB stick running Slax Linux that we could use, how do we fix this problem?
I actually found a windows 98 recovery cd lying around and got it fixed using the fixmbr command, thanks though
