Post subject: | Ubuntu, Vista, XP + Lenovo = Hell |
I was trying to play War Rock on my computer but Vista loves to be naughty with my hard drive when im playing it and makes it lag I walk a few feet hicup over and over so I decided to say goodbye to my linux partition and overwrite it with xp then It wouldn't let me access the dual boot screen it just kept going into xp so I used Ubuntu to get rid of XP and when I tried to go back into vista it said please reinstall Afadk.asl (well you get the idea) I thought no problem ill boot into the Lenovo Backup Partition. Keyword: Partition, these guys don't send you an OS cd with your computer they rely on the most unreliable thing on the planet a computer. So when I get into the Partition and try to repair it just says %: Failed to repair your installation (I know % was in it) that just pissed me off because I lost my XP product code I went into Linux and downloaded my Ethernet card driver and a crack for xp I went back to XP and now im running a cracked copy with all the updates and windows thinks its genuine XD. Do you think Cracking XP was justified in this case? Now I have a Vista Home Basic key but no vista ![]() If your gonna buy a computer don't go with lenovo. |

I don't think the problem was that you used "Lenovo." |

Theres programs to rip keys outta vista and xp so you can reinstall with a disk rather you bought it or downloaded it from another ..place. just put in your key. and if you dont know what your doing, DONT DO IT. |

IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads are some of the greatest laptops around. |

What I don't get is how installing XP over the Ubuntu partition broke my Vista partition and my recovery partition. XP runs way faster than vista though and War Rock is working again. |
