G'day Guy's,
Well what a years end to deal with, that 64 bit computer I built for my missus is now dead as both winblows and linux says the NFTS file system is corrupt and any data on the HD can't be accessed.
When I first looked none of the fans were working so I suspected my DC psu has given up the ghost so I put a 450 watt 240 volt psu in. The bios kept saying only 2 gig of ram was there and the computer has 4 gig. I did first a swap of the ram sticks and the bios kept saying 2 gig so I took one out in turn and tried it and BOTH proved good.
So when I tried loading windows it got to the login screen and loaded once a password went in but the screen was blank with only the mouse cursor shown. Now trying to access the 500 gig file system in linux on my wubi partition did say the nfts file system is corrupt and can't load. So I put the ubuntu 64 bit DVD in and it ran fine but trying to access the 500 gig file system said the same thing. got the net working via wifi and Ubuntu worked fine running under the live cd.
I did try the winblows 7 dvd and clicked on repair.... what a friggin joke it couldn't find the file system and suggested I upgrade to the pro mode.
I tried my Knoppix disk but as it's 32 bit it wouldn't load, so I went and joined the Knoppix forum and still waiting for my thread to be approved as I do think Knoppix will let me get the data off the HD and there is several DVD's to retrieve. If any guys here are familiar with Knoppix 64 Bit and say yes it will work then the iso 702 meg download will help. I do want to try and get the data off the HD myself but as the winblows OS is dead this is the only I know how to do it.
Well at the end of the day and year that winblows7 OEM version WILL go down in history as the WORST OS ever brought out and like me EVERY other person that has the same problem should form a class action against MicoSucks for selling a product designed to crash.
New years resolution hopefully I'll get the data off the HD and winblows will never see our 64 bit computer EVER again.
Regards Bryan
