I was installing Mint Linux in my computer and it was not suppose to delete my Windows Vista or my 60000 mp3s but it did, and argh, I need to see if I can recover the data. This happened yesterday. What is the best program, where can I get it? I need one that is bootable or I guess one that would work in Linux, I can burn a cd on the laptop I’m borrowing right now. i care most for my mp3s, though I would like to recover Windows if possible too. Please help me someone. Oh also Mint will not recognize my Internet connection I will be trying is it ndiswrapper once I get the other situation worked out though I am wary of starting the computer unless I am going after that lost information as I seem to remember someone saying once somewhere, probably online, that the best thing to do is turn it off until you can get some sort of help. Money is an issue here with me so I can’t afford any outside help though if a 30 dollar program or so can do it, please tell me my options. Thank you.

I have a sony vaio laptop i use for managing my ipod, surfing the web, and writing some papers. Windows has proven to be a bit unreliable (had to wipe the laptop twice due to registry errors from different viruses) I kind of want to use linux for its stability and customisability. But on the other hand i want to keep windows intact for when i want to use a windows only application like itunes. With a 500 gig harddrive, do i have enough space to install 2 operating systems that i can choose from upon startup? Will it slow down or speed up my computer using a different os? If its possible, is it difficult to do? (I’m fairly tech savvy but clearly no genious) any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone,
I am planning to buy a laptop soon. I was going for the Apple Macbook Pro 13, but a friend told me about the difficulties in working with the Mac OS X. I want to about the user experience of both OS’s.
Is Mac OS X usage and functions similar to that of Windows? Please provide me any website or suggestion regarding this topic.
Thanks in advance:-)
I intend to use the laptop for some audio & video editing with professional editors like Lightworks, etc. Apart from that I will use it for normal everyday things. But greater usage is of the media softwares and internet browsing using USB dongles. Please suggest.

I have a problem with the keyboard input into bash shells, this affects xterminals, text terminals (gettys) and remote shells too (ssh).

When I am in a bash shell, I can’t type the (british) pound sign “£”. Instead it types a “#” followed by a newline. In emacs, I can type “£” fine, so it doesn’t seem to be a problem with xorg. Indeed, this is being written in firefox on the same system and I can write lots of ££££s!

The $LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8. I have tried other $LANG variables but this doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

The script will be designed to run at user login and to analyse the output of the quota command to determine what percentage of the quota is currently in use.
Basically i need to write a script that produces the following output:
> ./quota-warn
You are currently using 91% of your quota
Consider reducing your usage

Can anyone give me any ideas..i appreciate your help..
thanks..

Well I don’t wanna sound crazy or psycho, but I know my bf is cheating on me. I have this gut feeling but no concrete proof. He never let’s me see his phone but he gets mad if I dont let him TAKE mine. Its stupid, I know…but he is literally crazy and if I have evidence that he’s talking to other girls, I can break up with him & he can’t threaten me or my family (yes, he threatens me everytime I try and end things). So with that said, any advice? Does anyone know how to hack a Facebook profile?
