[05:35] <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
[05:36] <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...
[05:37] <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"
[05:38] <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 =/
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <wolter> ok
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <Drace> Although I dont think Ill need 10gb for Ubuntu
[05:43] <wolter> why not?
[05:44] <Drace> too much?
[05:44] <Drace> Its fine though
[05:44] <Drace> continue on
[05:46] <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?
[05:47] <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)
[05:48] <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
[06:19] <wolter> oh sorry!
[06:19] <wolter> i forgot i was talking to you
[06:19] <wolter> let me read Drace
[06:20] <wolter> Drace, are you still with me?
[21:35] <cprofitt> pleia2, ping
