Dos boot disks.
Ubunto distro.
Windows disks.
For them that say that windows should let you format and repartition your hard drive when you reinstall it. Yes it does, but not for the oX.
It took a complete install of Ubunto this morning, including repartitioning and reformatting of my main drive, before windows would let me do this.
Don't ask me why. I don't know. It's never done that to me before. I have always been able to format the drive before. But this time, NO!

Anyway, I'm back up and working again. fully this time 
Have a few bits and pieces to download and install again, but nothing that cannot wait a few days.
Normality has returned to oXford

Thanks to GH and LK. GH for the suggestion of Ubuntu. And the lovely LK for my plastic bag of goodies today
Plus, I picked up a lovely large reflector for my photography from Aylesbury this morning. Best bit zero pounds

Most of that went over my head. I think it meant you were frustrated because you couldn't make your computer work but it's alright now. Welcome back! The only problem with being swept off your feet, is ending up on your arse. | |

One of these days I'll pluck up courage to do just that (sometimes mess around running Ubunto straight from a CD but not confident enough to partition and install it ) ^Thunder^
