[09:26] <czajkowski> morning
[09:26] <moylan> all well in blighty?
[09:26] <czajkowski> well it's not raining today
[09:26] <czajkowski> and I need to write 2 presentations this week for open week
[09:26] <moylan> run outside! it's summer! :-)
[09:27] <czajkowski> what happened with mike last night
[09:28] <moylan> he was setting up his sisters laptop with ubuntu.  he backed up everything onto an external usb drive.  but he left the drive plugged in while installing ubuntu and i think the install wiped the drive.
[09:28] <moylan> ubuntu setup partitioning system can be iffy at times.
[09:29] <czajkowski> :/
[09:29] <czajkowski> feck
[09:29] <moylan> it's a mistake everybody makes at some point.
[09:29] <moylan> never lost data?
[09:30] <czajkowski> oh  yeah
[09:30] <czajkowski> my external HD with stuff backed on it was corrupt
[09:31] <moylan> the thing is about 12 years ago i did the exact same thing and wiped my only backup during an install.  i finally tracked the company who made the software that unformatted the drive and got me back the data but they sold out to symantec back in 2004 or so.  so no more unformat software from them.
[09:31] <moylan> not sure it is possible with ntfs either because of the way the fat works on that fs.
[09:32] <moylan> haven't given up though.  still checking online.
[09:34] <czajkowski> cool
[09:34]  * moylan hates ntfs
