So I've had this Windows 7 disc lying around. I was waiting till I had an external hard drive so I could save all my stuff. Part of my plan was to dual boot Windows and Linux. Well yesterday I decided to dual boot early while I still had Vista. Unfortunately something, somewhere went horribly wrong. My PC wouldn't boot into either OS so i had to fresh install Windows 7. On the plus side i no longer have Vista and that factory installed crap isn't on there. On the minus side...I lost 35 gigs of music, 156 gigs of anime and all of my Photshop stuff. Needless to say in won't be doing and digital art in a long time. Luckily I had recently saved some anime on disc but that was a mere fraction by comparison. I only had a bit of my music on my PSP. I think it was like 1.7 gigs worth. Now I'm not so sure if I want to dual boot anymore. I need to get my own person server with several Terabytes of space with some of the drives running in RAID 0 and some in RAID 1. Then I'll have more space than I need and the security in case something like this happens again. I suppose Lady Luck didn't favor me today. Anyway I've got most of the important programs back. Well hopefully nothing else happens.
