Computer Down

So, I don't know how many of you follow me on twitter. But if you do, You might have noticed a wave of tweets about some computer issues I was having. The short version of it is that I am an idiot. A few days ago I needed more space on my computer. I noticed I had an unused partition. Boy oh boy was I wrong. I formatted the partition into space I could use for storing pictures. So, I organize my files get everything worked out. Do some cleanup of old programs. Then I install a windows update. Big mistake right there.

So turns out that partition that I "Wasn't using", was actually my Linux partition. Just to top it all off, it also had my Boot Manager on it. So every time I start up the computer, I get a Grub Error telling me the file system can not be found. So as you can imagine, I am full of joy at this. I try to do a system restore from a restore point a week ago to no luck.

Next I tried just re-installing windows. It was about time for a clean install anyway. But no, that would not work. My computer would not allow it. It had now been 4 hours since my computer crashed on me, well since I crashed my computer. So finally, I turn to the internet for help. The internet gives me a CD called SuperGrubDisk2. Pretty much, I boot the computer off the CD and it replaces the missing boot loader for me.

So, the computer is working again, It needs a little bit of cleaning up still. But I am officially back online with no problems. I missed it here on the internet. But it did give me some time to watch some movies I had been wanting to see.
