Which linux, Ubuntu or Mandriva…i am a complete novice?

Really confused here… (computer question)?

Posted on December 5, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

Not to long ago i purchased an Acer 5610 laptop. it came with windows vista when i got it. i must have downloaded some sort of virus because it crashed on me a while back. ive tried to install windows numerous times ever since. first i tried xp, i used 3 or for different copies just to make sure i wasnt using one that wouldnt work. xp froze midway through installation ever single time, next i used a linux cd and booted into the “live cd”, this worked but im not an IT professional and i could figure every friggen thing out. what should i do now? please help im at the end of my rope with this pc!
sylver; hell no

to bill g; no, i dont have a copy

to gladiator; from boot
deleted partition, i now have a unpartitioned hd

db young; i dont want to buy vista, i already have a supposedly working copy of xp
to tj; i was using a distro called sabayon, it was the only one i found that had drivers for my wifi card built into the installation cd. i need windows for the compatibility

How can I erase all data from my Hard Disk???

Posted on February 11, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

I have heared that formatting reduces the life of harddisk. Let us suppose I have a virus on my harddisk or my windows is curropted. I want to erase all data from my harddisk including hiddden folder and files like System Volume Information without formatting it. So that I can install windows what should I do? I have NTFS volume. Do u know any live CD linux which supports NTFS filesysystem? I think it will help me to erase data from my HDD.
