computer offline

been offline for a couple of days due to some harddrive partition problems. now back up but lost all files. reinstalled and reconsider.

How it started:

I've been dual-booting my computer for years (close to 10). This time I got too comfortable and not enough HDD space. Long story short, I installed the new Ubuntu distro and it went haywire. Note: Ubuntu itself is cool but it really isn't too user-friendly towards PPPoE connections. (not true at all after a small investigation)

Lessons learned over and over again: don't redistribute already partitioned harddrive with critical data on it, especially with different partitioning software. period.

I did backup some files ahead of time but half are lost, photos, docu, etc.
