help with windows xp!?
Ok. This is probably 10th questions I ask here on yahoo answers about this problem. Whenever I get answer from folks, they just tell me in ‘general’. This time I want the answers that really work. Here is my problem.
This is a school laptop with windows xp. IT guy just fuck it up for worse. No fucking access even to install flash player. So no YouTube. I got off there and decided to install ubuntu on it. I did it. But ubuntu does not solve my problem either because it just can’t detect wireless network.
Then I tried to boot to windows xp again and guess what? blue screen error comes up. I can’t even boot into safe mode, networking mode, last working configuration mode what so ever. The problem is I don’t have xp cd to recover system which a lot of guys here on yahoo answer told me about. Another problem is I don’t want to hand this over to school IT department to fix because I would probably get scold.
So I would like to know,
Is there anyway to delete linux partition while I am log in on linux(ubuntu). I tried to boot with ubuntu cd but it leads me straight away to installation of ubuntu which mean no command line stuffs at start up. I downloaded many xp live cd from web and tried to boot with it to no avail.
How to recover this xp system? Any ideas?
I can’t boot into windows xp as well.

Does this sound like a failed Hard Drive?
The computer used to boot up and work, but after a few minutes it would crash and give the blue screen of death. I thought maybe the OS had become corrupted so I deleted the current partition and created a new one so that I could reinstall Windows. However it crashed several times during the OS setup and never finished installing.
I tried using a Linux Live CD (which loads entirely into ram) and it ran fine for hours, it never crashed. I finally tried installing Linux onto the harddrive but it failed as well, now the partition editor in Linux doesn’t even recognize the HD device.
Does this situation sound like a HD failure? A while back I thought it could possibly be the power-supply but now I’m leaning towards the HD. The computer is an EMachine Desktop, bought in 2005.

Do Linux live Cd’s work well with corrupted windows systems that cannot boot?
I am made to believe that many a times hard disks wont mount and hence one cannot backup the data if windows didn’t shut down properly or cannot start?
is that true?
whats the work around?
Secondly…I always wondered , what can Linux do that windows cannot.
Third: I just cannot get my ppoe connection that requires a user name pswd. to connect to the internet , wired connection that is. The service provider just throws in a LAN cable that plugs into the Ethernet port..and that’s it.
Fourth: I cant get Ubuntu to play my media files: what more should i do?
