ish crap
and yeah, i had vista on the laptop to begin with, and installed ubuntu heron on there... i really dont like ubuntu. but kubuntu i can tolerate. anyway.
yeah installed ubuntu, never used it cause its ugly, and cause i really had no need to, and i decided i wanted to get rid of it, at the time the people i was asking (a sysadmin included) said i could get rid of it byt just deleting the partition through windows... which i did. next time i tried to boot - pffffft. wouldnt work.
guess i shoulda looked into how much alcohol and weed they had consumed before i asked them, eh?

how could you delete the partion under windows? Even vista shows no raiser fs or ext partions... or had you done it under a fat partition?
LOL, ROFL, deleting a partion is not good for other operating systems. So i don't wonder what hapend, i think grub was very angry with you^^ *gg*
and i agree with your opinion about sysadmins, they must have drunken to much when they sad you that....
its unbeliefable but very funny to read and think about^^

well i was angry with linux D:< but oh well whats done is done, it works fine now. serves as a good lesson for the future
and yeah, theres an option somewhere, i cant remember where, you can like, look at partitions and wipe them within windows

i'm also often angry with linux^^ I'm done with it! Linux is in my eyes something for nerds which want to be able to change every last bit of the os....
some where i found an articel where is written inside how you can install both without loosing one^^
Thats a pity that you can't remember where you did it to show linux hdd's in windows....

Don't touch the bootloader, what were you doing screwing around in there anyways, trying to eradicate GRUB?

.....
sigh.
im not stupid enough to go into the system files, hell if i even know where the bootloader is located in there... though i could probably find it if i browsed enough. No, i had installed a distro of linux, which i didnt use and didnt like, and i went to my techy friends, one of which was a sysadmin (albeit windows, not linux) but my batty friend was there too... just stoned... and i asked my friends if i could delete it somehow... and they said sure, do this this and this and delete the partition. ...so, i did what my sysadmin friend said, and next time i tried to boot my laptop, it wouldnt, so my more linux knowledged friend told me what happened and fixed it for me with a fresh install of vista.
so, not really my fault except for installing linux in the first place.
Please, don't post such rude and demeaning comments on my images. If you wanted to ask me what happened, you could've said it like that, instead of the harsh and accusatory way you phrased it.
I'm NOT computer illiterate, like so many out there, so do not assume I am.

Mk, sorry, it wasn't meant to be demeaning...and I was right, you were trying to kill grub or another linux bootloader. Your friend was wrong to, here's the skinny...when you install linux, it writes its own bootloader to the mbr of your main hard drive, deleting the partition does not get rid of the bootloader. You do NOT, however, need to reinstall vista. With xp it is much easier because the repair tools are on the disc, with vista however, microsoft screwed us over, so you have to download the vista repair disc from their website and burn it. Boot from the disc, go to the hardrive repair utilities, and run bootrec.exe fixboot and fixmbr...I think those are right, from the command prompt window. Or just open up the boot record utility and do it through the gui. This rewrites the mbr to point to your newly restored vista bootloader. Thatway you don't have to reinstall the entire os.

i dont need an explanation, this happened MONTHS ago and ive already heard all the explanations. but i wasnt trying to kill the bootloader, i was trying to get rid of the OS. i just wasnt aware at the time that the bootloader was now linked to the newer os.
I never had a disc for my vista, because it was installed on primary boot off the hard drive. besides, i had the thing for a year, and i decided it was time to give it a format anyway. no harm done.
and please, keep your explanations for people who ask for them. I've already heard why it died the way it did many times before. from another sysadmin friend who uses linux. but please, again STOP GIVING ME EXLPANATIONS ON THINGS I ALREADY KNOW.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to treat you like an idiot, I'm not there, I don't live in your head, how am I supposed to know what you know? Please don't take an offer of information as an insult, I simply enjoy telling people about things like that. Plus, I had the same experience when I put my first linux distro on an xp tower years ago. I was laughing with you, not at you. Like I said, Microsoft screwed us all over with Vista, most people with lappys didn't get a disc, and those that do get discs didn't get the repair tools, just an oem specific autoreinstall instead of an actual copy of the vista os. You can still get the repair disc, microsoft put one together as a free download that you can burn and boot from.

im always like that. and true, you didnt know, but i just get like that.... ive always been defensive when it comes to issues i dont like or already know about, etc. i never needed the disc, though. and the repair tools are in vista, uhm... theres a repair thing, it installed sortof like another boot, you have to select to go into it, but if you cant get to that screen after post....
i never needed the disc till then anyway. always runs beautifully for me <3 vista ^^

Vista's evil, by the way, lol. And unless your lappy radically different from most, the hidden partition is usually not a full set of repair tools, just an automated wipe the harddrive and reinstall the os kind of thing...its designed for people who don't know their way around computers...which of course screws people like us who do know their way around computers and want or need those tools to fix our own goofups. XP

no, the repair tools on the repair thing actually fixes issues. it wouldnt boot once and i went into the repair and it fixed it.
and i like vista. again, <3 vista.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean the autorepair? Yeah, that fixes things some of the time. I meant the actual tools, like a registry editor, scanner, and fixer, partition manager, bootrecord/bootloader diagnostics, ram testers, things of that nature.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the partition manager is in the actual OS... i got to it and deleted linux through it
but oh, those things... i could probably find out where those are if i fiddled enough... maybe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lawl no, not Vista's built in partition manager, it has too many limitations...for example, you can only extend partitions to the right...you can't really run an effective partition manager from the os, because full control requires physical changes to the hard drive, including moving stuff that can't be moved when the os is running...ie you can't move the vista partition. That and it tends to crash and lock up...damn thing hasn't worked for me in months, I use a third party utility instead...

/me headtilts
i reaaaaaaaaaally dont care about the semantics of how vista does or doesnt run for other people. and i reeeeeeeally dont want to get into a long conversation like this, and have been trying to end this convo a few times already. can you please just... like... drop it?
