back in

less than 24 hours this time, and i learnt that the cd drive on my new computer is a sack of sh*t...

i'd suspected this for awhile but there's nothing like really needing a piece of hardware to do something quite basic for you & finding out there & then that it can't do it...

wonderful.. so i got to go over to floopy's and he burnt me the necessary bootable cd's... i was also the victim of a scam... before i knew my cd drive was below par i tried a solution i found on the internet... it didn't work (because of the cd drive)... then found another solution that cost me £4.05 and my phone number (i know, i probably could have avoided that) and not only did i almost immediately get a porn website texting me... but when i finally tried it as a solution it was exactly the same as the solution i'd tried earlier... they took the solution this nice man was giving away free and charged me £4.05 for it...

scum x

anyway i'm in and my brain has expanded that tiny amount needed to accommodate the information that i shouldn't just delete everything on a drive, certain things are necessary...

ok... now for ubuntu...
