Sarissi Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Here I am in Win98SE after several attempts to install 10.0 CE Powerpack. Durn install keeps hanging at installing bootloader in first sector of root partition. Never happened before to me! I just upgraded my two 61 GB Maxtors to two 120 GB Maxtors, 15 inch TFT to 19 inch flat screen CRT, and GeForce 4 MX440SE dual VGA to GeForce FX 5200 128 MB, 8X agp. I was naturally wondering what in heck is the problem. I had used Partition Commander to copy my /home partition from hdd to hdb for the hardisk upgrade, then copied it back. All that data is gone. Next time I do this, I am going to format a DVD+RW in k3b and copy everything over. This is the only time I did not copy stuff to my fat32 archives partition. and most definitely Most everything got Crosslinked. I am glad I have been able to find most of my user/password data (on paper), and I fortunately have a slightly older copy of my bookmarks. Don't you just hate it when this sort of thing happens? This is not the first time I have lost ALL of my email, though the first time in Linux. Unfortunately, Mandrake Move does not see the old /home partition.
