Hi, Pardon the sarcasm, just beats exploding at this post, On Sat, 22 Sep 2001, Alan wrote: > I have been using Win98 SE for over a year now and Windows in general for > over 20 years, and lunix for over five years. Windows in general aint that old so hook me up with your dealer, please, coz thats some very good stuff ur on. Not to mention your skills of observation seems a tad warped , after staring at a LINUX terminal for 5 years the least you can do is notice it says LINUX not "lunix". > I tried your FreeBSD system since my roommate has been using it and > other *inx type systems for over ten years now.

So I assume you had an experienced user helping with your install which is more than most ppl can say on their first install. Also you mention your windows drive was not in so correct windows wouldnt have been touched by the install unless your ESP driver works better than mines in 4.3 (if so EXCELLENT job on the 4.4 team). Just a reminder...rm is NOT copy nor is mv, so if you didnt do either just how u managed to lose the files after you accessed them in FreeBSD amazes me....a lot.:/ > I then shutdown and unpluged BSD and pluged in Windows and had nothing.

Some of these > files are of legell use and can not afford to be lost. I am not going to flame this post rather try and figure out what yo (YES YOU) did wrong, though trust me its difficult to resist the urge to grab napalm right now. How did u remove the BSD drive and (re-)insert the windows one? What steps did u take to make sure that the drive was infact toasted, and between the last working windows boot just exactly what DID u do? And for someone with the claimed experience you have Id think having backups of important file would be second nature :/. Its probably too late to get anything back but hopefully would prevent u putting both feet in your mouth at the same time in the near/distant future. > YOUR so called FreeBSD system is crap. Dont go blaming others for your mistakes , denial is not really security. I personally have done VERY strange things to my hard drive partitions (changing partition flag types by mistake, resizing and undoing the resizing are a few examples) and have STILL booted my FreeBSD system fine. > I am very upset at this and intend to notify Microsoft of this just on > the offset that you or someone in your company has put some kind of > code or virus on your system to attack a Windows system. We have a saying in .za "Call MNET..they care". And your a smart cookie...in one day you found a virus in an OS that I and others have been using for years. > This seems to be the only reason to the problem that your system has caused > me.

You have overlooked Error 2000, located between keyboard and chair which is exactly what I think (certain of actually) what has happened. And go ahead and do what you think is needed, just like i said earlier give us a detailed account of what you did so we can determine for ourselves and tell you what you did wrong. And uhm...no beg to differ, you destroyed your windows...coz even if it didnt boot there are loads of ways to still try and retreive your data even if the OS didnt boot. > Now I understand why so many people are not using anything but > Windows, they do not destroy your system if you connect the two > together. I doubt you truely understand anything in the larger sense of the word, and wont even go near that last statement about windows destroying things coz I am avoiding flaming you at all costs, rather post the steps and we WILL find the problem where ever it may be.
