Now, when I'm working almost 6 hours on Windows XP booting problem and loosing one time my whole GRUB and got it back again (about 10 minutes ago), I'm so convient of that repairing Windows XP is not that simple that some books tell's. My Windows XP do not work but it's repair program "destroys" my GRUB and I was front of situation where I've never be. I'm so happy for that repairing GRUB is actually very easy. I'm angry for that repairing Windows is coming so impossible that I've got to re-install the whole system... But... now I've more info about that why Linux is so much better than Windows. -- Jarkko Elfving Suomi - Finland ===---------=== [FIN] Tämä viesti on digitaalisesti allekirjoitettu, julkisen avaimen voit hakea seuraavilta palvelimilta: [UK/US] This mail has been digitally signed and you can download the public-key from these servers from the list: http://subkeys.pgp.net pgp-public-keys@xxxxxxxxxxxx
