| HowdyDoody | hello any grubbers listening ? | 16:08 |
| HowdyDoody | hello mr bacon, SamuraiAlba | 16:09 |
| teddy-dbear | no | 16:09 |
| HowdyDoody | only a stuffed bear is paying attention ? | 16:10 |
| SamuraiAlba | heya | 16:14 |
| HowdyDoody | my grub has been messed by ubuntu update | 16:15 |
| HowdyDoody | I think it fried my Bacon | 16:16 |
| HowdyDoody | I am InHisName on another machine, SamuraiAlba | 16:17 |
| SamuraiAlba | ahhh | 16:40 |
| SamuraiAlba | Sorry, was filling out my FAFSA | 16:40 |
| HowdyDoody | SamuraiAlba: upon booting liveCD saw error of hard drive controller. REseated SATA cable. Now works again. | 16:43 |
| HowdyDoody | School funding for College or ?? SamuraiAlba | 16:43 |
| SamuraiAlba | College | 16:47 |
| HowdyDoody | What major are you choosing ? | 16:51 |
| SamuraiAlba | Now for the Hesaa... | 16:51 |
| SamuraiAlba | Computer Science with a focus on Network Security @ Camden | 16:51 |
| HowdyDoody | Cool, I am in Cisco training right now and a microsoft series. Finish up late march. | 17:02 |
| SamuraiAlba | Sweet. | 17:02 |
| SamuraiAlba | Enjoying it? | 17:02 |
| HowdyDoody | Sorta, lotta info, heavy exams for certifications. | 17:03 |
| SamuraiAlba | I have most of the Cisco study guides and videos here :) | 17:03 |
| HowdyDoody | The big trick is will a future employer want me rather than someone else with bazillion years experience and no certs. | 17:04 |
| SamuraiAlba | That is a big trick :O | 17:04 |
| HowdyDoody | I have accumulated 7 Gigs of study helps dumps pdfs and nuggets etc. | 17:05 |
| SamuraiAlba | Now I have to find out how to convert my dynamic HD to a simple volume so I can install Ubuntu :) | 17:05 |
| HowdyDoody | Delete partitions | 17:05 |
| SamuraiAlba | It's my laptops ONLY partition | 17:05 |
| HowdyDoody | Start with bare drive. | 17:05 |
| SamuraiAlba | Not an option with a broken DVD burner and no backup external... | 17:06 |
| HowdyDoody | Do you still want dual boot? | 17:06 |
| HowdyDoody | wubi | 17:06 |
| SamuraiAlba | I have Wubi. I was also going to install CentOS, tho | 17:06 |
| ChinnoDog | If you have one hard drive and one partition I don't think there is any value in making it dynamic in the first place. | 17:07 |
| HowdyDoody | wubi is only one to install into file in windows drive. NO reformatting | 17:07 |
| HowdyDoody | sort of a 'nested' dual boot | 17:07 |
| HowdyDoody | What about that black edition, is there a dvd player there ? | 17:08 |
| HowdyDoody | Opps its a laptop | 17:08 |
| SamuraiAlba | the black edition desktop is still here :) | 17:09 |
| SamuraiAlba | I put a PSU in it, but now it needs an HD | 17:09 |
| SamuraiAlba | You bought the HD :) | 17:09 |
| HowdyDoody | You sold me two now have none? | 17:09 |
| SamuraiAlba | none | 17:09 |
| ChinnoDog | Sell it back to him at a profit | 17:10 |
| HowdyDoody | do you have a USB to SATA box or adapter ? | 17:10 |
| SamuraiAlba | Nay | 17:11 |
| SamuraiAlba | I'm just gonna have to stick with Wubi :'( | 17:11 |
| HowdyDoody | I could try ChinnoDog but he was out of stock on cash then and gave it to his girl friend to pay bills. So I assume still empty. | 17:11 |
| HowdyDoody | wubi plays pretty nice without spending any $$ | 17:12 |
| ChinnoDog | oh. hmm. I see. | 17:13 |
| HowdyDoody | ChinnoDog: do you know much about grub2 ? | 17:13 |
| ChinnoDog | Rent to own? | 17:13 |
| ChinnoDog | not really | 17:13 |
| HowdyDoody | bummer | 17:13 |
| ChinnoDog | I know that if you installed Windows on a simple disk and then converted it to dynamic that you should be able to change it back though | 17:15 |
| ChinnoDog | Making it dynamic doesn't remove the structures that were there before you did it. You made it a dynamic disk without any dynamic volumes, which does nothing for you. | 17:15 |
| SamuraiAlba | now to find out how to convert it back... | 17:18 |
| ChinnoDog | might be able to right click on it in disk management and convert back with a couple clicks | 17:19 |
| SamuraiAlba | no joy there | 17:20 |
| SamuraiAlba | maybe gparted? | 17:21 |
| SamuraiAlba | HIRENS! WOOWOO! | 17:22 |
| ChinnoDog | no. Linux tools do not know anything about dynamic disks last I checked. | 17:23 |
| ChinnoDog | Have you created any dynamic volumes? | 17:23 |
| SamuraiAlba | no | 17:25 |
| SamuraiAlba | brb trying Hirens | 17:26 |
| HowdyDoody | ChinnoDog: In my usoft class, when converting to dynamic, there is NO going back. Sorta like lvm in ubuntu, its delete partition to go back to basic disks. | 17:33 |
| HowdyDoody | There might be a hacker way to do it but would not be pretty. | 17:34 |
| ChinnoDog | It is completely different from LVM | 17:35 |
| ChinnoDog | At least, for the first paritition | 17:35 |
| ChinnoDog | There is a caveat with dynamic disks. You can't install Windows onto them. | 17:35 |
| HowdyDoody | Can't install boot volume to it. | 17:35 |
| ChinnoDog | right | 17:35 |
| HowdyDoody | But can convert others. | 17:35 |
| ChinnoDog | So when you install Windows you will be installing onto a standard partition | 17:35 |
| HowdyDoody | its Gates 's goofy answer to lvm | 17:36 |
| ChinnoDog | It isn't possible to remove the partition information for that first partition | 17:36 |
| ChinnoDog | The only thing converting a disk to dynamic does is mark it as dynamic, until you create dynamic volumes on it which still don't affect the first partition | 17:36 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm pretty sure I've converted disks in the other direction before | 17:37 |
| HowdyDoody | It has physical and logical buried deep in it. | 17:37 |
| ChinnoDog | But, only if you don't have dynamic volumes created on it | 17:37 |
| HowdyDoody | maybe | 17:38 |
| ChinnoDog | When they were first introduced it created a problem with disk imaging software because none of the existing solutions could read it | 17:38 |
| HowdyDoody | Probably his one volume was converted to dynamic. He can see it in disk management. | 17:38 |
| ChinnoDog | So I would have to convert it back in order to image it | 17:38 |
| HowdyDoody | If he never converted the one disk to dynamic then he might have a chance to undo the little bit flag. | 17:40 |
