I am a complete linux noob and am trying to run the live cd but it will not work because there is a xserver error and then there is a bunch of junk going on so does anyone know how to fix this?
The bunch of junk is a status report but it is all jumbled up and in different spots
Im working on a computer that was filled with virus/malware/spyware/junk software, just about everything you dont want on a system.
i backed up all the users data. copied it to an external HD. reinstalled windows and moved(i know i should have copied, i wasent thinking) all the data into the my documents folder. installed updates and rebooted windows. windows would not boot. the CD that i have of windows does not have windows recovery console.
I was thinking of two ways to get the data back.
1. pull the drive and use a USB to IDE adapter i have to pull the data onto my laptop.
2. pull the drive and place it in my desktop as a slave.
3. use a live cd of linux to pull the data from the computer and place it on an external hd
any suggestions or directions on how to do this? Or a better way?

I made a live CD of ubuntu 7.10 all the basic things worked well. But then when I tried to actually use it you know like game get my all in one printer working I was like h4x0rz pwn j00! Junk.
Im not a fan-boy of apple,microsoft or linux.
But how can they call this superior?
ITS HALFED BAKED lot of good reading online ~positive~ about it lots of hype…..I just dont get it!
Is it suppose to be this complicated. more time in the terminal then actualy using it. Yes got beryl working cube junk!
Why do you like it?
Thanks.
XP easy
Vista easy
OSX easy
ubuntu or any number of the 1000000 different kinds OMFG! like 0.6% users?
I see linux excellent as a server. But not really for the desktop.
I did like open office but I can get that to work in XP and open office wont do any good in linux because of my all in one problem ;-(
Ok you lil noob! linux does get virues trojans and yes it does crash. now get your head out of the penguins bung!
again i fail to see the superior part about linux….1 it lacks support 2 no drivers for NEW things. 3 complicated. I just like one click not ~ lizard-wang dododod pee my pants-sudo. LOL
