[09:01] if there are bad blocks on it? [09:01] hi psyatw [09:02] i think he is trying to isolate them into a partition so that no data is written to them [09:02] I see [09:02] I usually use those old drives for operating systems and newer ones for my data [09:03] so I nothing important is lost in case of a hard drive crash [09:03] -I [09:13] i think that is the general idea, Kilos has built most of his pc's out of spares that have donated [10:05] does anyone know if k9copy has been removed from the repos? === who_da_fly is now known as superfly [11:13] hi superfly magespawn [11:15] hi Kilos, magespawn :p [11:16] hi Cantide you are early today [11:16] hey Kilos Cantide [11:16] i am?

[18:51] hi [18:53] thought i was all by myself. [18:53] hi [18:53] wondering whether anyone has advice: trying to install ubuntu 13.04 x64 to dual-boot with win 8 pro. [18:54] oh... i'm not the best one to advise on that [18:54] i've not run win8 before [18:54] ok. i'm pretty sure that the problem is with ubuntu installer.... [18:55] in my experience, i had to install Windows first and then Ubuntu, because Windows would always destroy Grub [18:55] which did you install first? [18:56] agreed: win 1st then ubuntu. installed win 8 pro with much effort. problem is with installing ubuntu though. [18:57] despite leaving more than ample space as un-partitioned and available the ubuntu installer doesn't see any of the existing ntfs partitions and reports that the entire drive is blank and available space. [18:58] odd thing: when running ubuntu from the installation media it reflects all existing ntfs partitions... [20:57] evening [20:59] hey Squirm [20:59] heya Cantide [21:00] '-'/
