Will creating a Linux partition resolve a Master Boot Record issue for a HDD with Windows ME installed?

Posted on September 11, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

I Accidentally Screwed up my 80 Gig HDD with Windows ME. It seems i deleted my Master Boot Record. I have repeatedly tried to use “Fdisk /MBR” to repair the problem, but the command doesn’t seem to do anything. I can access all of my files using the DOS on my boot disk, but Windows still won’t boot up. I can, however, boot up Xubuntu using a live CD. If I Use the Xubuntu Install to disk feature, it gives me the option to create a new partition. Would Creating a new partition, and installing Linux Create a new MBR? Would that help get Windows ME going again? or would that only compound the problem?

How do I set up a wireless connection with Linux Mint 7?

Posted on July 24, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I am completely new to Linux and recently created a Live-CD for Mint 7. I am having trouble getting it to even recognize my wireless signal. I know the computer itself can pick up on the signal as Windows still picks it up. I’ve tried going through and putting the info in as a ‘hidden’ wireless signal, but it still won’t let me connect. I spent several hours last night googling to see if I could find the answer that way, but I every site I tried did not offer the results I was looking for. Below are screenshots I’ve taken of exactly what I’m seeing to help anyone willing to help me know exactly what my problem is.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
