Cancel XP setup!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Posted on March 14, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Hi all!!! I am not very computer literate so pls bear with me..I had some problems with my win xp, eg vfiruses, etc.a friend suggested reinstalling xp home edition sp2.the problem is, half way through the install process a blue screen comes up with errors and doesnt go any further..tried starting the pc again, but goes back to setup and same thing, cant boot into safe mode,etc..I just wanna cancel the setup and go back to the original os.HOW CAN I DO THIS…also worth noting is that i am living in spain, so the xp i got is in spanish, so i am not able to fully understand the errors..I searched on google and some of the answers were to use a linux live cd and get rid of setup but none of the answers said how this should be done….Any help would be greatly appreciated…THANKS

How do I set my partition table with testdisk to salvage data from a linux damaged partition?

Posted on March 7, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have (or better put, used to have) a dual boot setup of my laptop. The hard disk crashed and left me with some data to save, unfortunately the partition is inaccessible with many things I tried, including live cd’s (now I’m under Ubuntu live). I am using testdisk, and this is the table:

D HPFS – NTFS 0 1 1 9728 254 63 156296322
D FAT32 LBA 1803 1 1 4255 254 63 39407382 [NO NAME]
D Linux 4256 0 1 9543 254 63 84951720 [/]
D Linux 4256 1 1 5806 254 63 24916752
D Linux Swap 5807 1 1 5997 254 63 3068352
D Linux 5998 1 1 9728 254 63 59938452 [Linux_home]
D Linux Swap 9544 1 1 9728 254 63 2971962

My data is on the partition starting at 5998. Almost anything I try seems to be illegal. How can I resolve this mess?
Thanks…

How to Backup and restore partition over wifi? using only GNU/GPL software?

Posted on December 8, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I know about PARTIMAGE, but is there a bootable CD that includes it? and being able to setup wifi card. Maybe some LIVE CD that may be easily modifiable so I can have wifi, and partimage on this. Please suggest me options.

Ultimate Boot CD has linux and partimage, but I do not know how to enable wifi so I can restore partition stored in remote server.

(needles to say that Norton Ghost or any commercial application is out of question)
