I have an HP and it has a ‘special’ partition for recovering the OS. I would wipe all windoze BS but my fiance would be pissed. I tried installing Fedora Core 4 but the bootloader made my system think that all had been lost and began recovery every time I attempted to load windoze.
Lilo is not used in Fedora Core 4, I miss lilo. They use someother prorgram, I think it starts with a G.

Ok. This is absolutely retarded. I have a network cable, see? I plug it into my iMac and the internet connection works fine. I take out the cable and plug it into an ethernet card which is connected to a laptop with a fresh install of XP, and the internet connection on the laptop automagically doesn’t work. Windows keeps telling me that the network cable is unplugged. This, of course, is total BS, as the cable is in there snugly. I know that the computer recognizes the card (I checked; the drivers are installed), but for some reason, it doesn’t detect the cable which is plugged in. Strangely enough, not only does the cable work with the iMac, but it also worked on the same exact laptop with the same exact ethernet card when Ubuntu was installed.

If anyone could help, I’d be much obliged.
