Whats a linux kernal? And i mount what? All im using is a linux live boot cd that iv booted up twice. I have no knowledge of linux whatsoever

15% can't remember it said something like I***.SYS

I'll have a look again...

Think of the kernel as basically the process that's running all the time and 'controls' the operation of the OS. I've not used any of the linux live discs and have never used linux myself.

in the meantime peerzy have you looked on google...http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&cl...t+boot&spell=1

How much % of the data will i be able to recover if i do a quick format?

if you format you lose everything on the disc/partition

Yes but you can recover alot of it if you do not write any more data to the disc.

Another option is i had some shitty like 8gb hdd's so i put one of them in as master install windows and then try and sort things out from there.

Im on a windows pc now so im not having to fuck around with linux.

that just doesnt seem right dude
even the windows disc gives you the option of what partition to mess with
i'd say go with an acronis boot disk, never failed me, but....
if you dont have it already, i dont know...
dont look like youre in a position to be able to dl it

Im on my second pc, thats got a 1.5mb net connecton so i can download.

Yeah its changed now, it does not show my partions it shows one partion on my first hdd with 130gb used and 10mb free, which for some fucked reason its saying is FAT (not even FAT32). (the disc is 160gb though and it shows no 'unpartioned space') and my second disc it shows one partion (normal).

That boot disc looks nice, but on there site it says Price: $49.99, any chance you have a cracked version and can upload it? (http://s5.yousendit.com/)

yeah i just caught a little more of the prob reading back
this sounds baaaaaaad :(
but yeah i can do ya an ISO of the boot disk, no prob
i dont have BT installed atm, so if you can log into slsk that'd probably be quicker
i will just need a few mins. to make the iso and share it

-edit- i just saw your link :P
i'll try that, the ISO wont be too big

Don't have slsk or any apps on this pc and cannot install, thats why i asked if you could upload it though that website (its legal they cannot trace you or even look at your files) and pm me the linkage.
