| Drace | hello | 05:35 |
|---|---|---|
| kurrata | hi | 05:35 |
| wolter | hi | 05:35 |
| Drace | Alrighty | 05:35 |
| wolter | em Drace first of all, are you going to have just ubuntu, or windows as well? | 05:35 |
| Drace | Im trying to setup ubuntu so I can retrieve my files that were on windows | 05:35 |
| Drace | Windows failed on me... | 05:36 |
| wolter | oh, if you just want ubuntu for that, you don't have to install it./. | 05:36 |
| wolter | it is enough with the live cd | 05:36 |
| kurrata | Drace: cant you just reinstal windows? | 05:36 |
| Drace | I need to keep some files... | 05:36 |
| Drace | I want a copy of Ubuntu anyways | 05:37 |
| kurrata | reinstaling wont delete your files just you /windows directory ;) | 05:37 |
| Drace | Well what it says is "All files will be lost" | 05:37 |
| Drace | "...in the user directioniry" something like that | 05:38 |
| wolter | Drace, well, but if you want ubuntu, let me show you how you will want to partition your drive. | 05:38 |
| Drace | Soo...? | 05:38 |
| Drace | Ok | 05:38 |
| wolter | so, how big is your disk? | 05:38 |
| Drace | 120 Gb =/ | 05:38 |
| wolter | nice | 05:39 |
| Drace | I was hoping that by installing ubuntu Id have my windows files mounted automatically without going through the hassle of the terminal | 05:39 |
| wolter | ok, will you want to install windows later on? | 05:39 |
| wolter | if so, which windows? | 05:39 |
| Drace | XP home | 05:39 |
| wolter | ok | 05:40 |
| Drace | The main reason im trying to get Ubuntu right now is to retrieve my windows files | 05:42 |
| wolter | you will probably want an ubuntu partition of 10gb, a windows partition of 10gb also, and a massive other partition of 100gb | 05:42 |
| Drace | Ok | 05:42 |
| Drace | Although I dont think Ill need 10gb for Ubuntu | 05:43 |
| wolter | why not? | 05:43 |
| Drace | too much? | 05:44 |
| Drace | Its fine though | 05:44 |
| Drace | continue on | 05:44 |
| wolter | well, you can give it a little less, like 6, but i recommend 10gb | 05:46 |
| Drace | Ok | 05:46 |
| wolter | em, so, how much space had you occupied in windows? | 05:46 |
| Drace | Only like 5 Gb left...including the Ubuntu I have installed | 05:47 |
| Drace | which has a 10 gb partition | 05:47 |
| Drace | Which I should of mentioned this earlier (forgot about it) | 05:47 |
| Drace | My pc crashed and windows failed so I cant open up Ubuntu either. | 05:48 |
| Drace | My solution was to reinstall or use livecd to retrieve my windows files and reinstall windows | 05:48 |
| wolter | oh sorry! | 06:19 |
| wolter | i forgot i was talking to you | 06:19 |
| wolter | let me read Drace | 06:19 |
| wolter | Drace, are you still with me? | 06:20 |
