I don`t know in which forum to post, so I'll put it here. Sorry if I
picked the wrong forum.
Like the title says, I haven`t had a good weekend. I had decided to try
Kanotix 64, since I had a windows partition I wasn`t using (three months
without Windows and I and my comp have never been so productive!
WOO-HOO! :D ). I loaded kanotix 64 in live cd mode, selected the "install
to HD" option, verified that everything was in order, and began.
Well, The results surprised me, to say the least. The installer listed very
clearly my choice of partition- hda3- but it installed it in a different one. Yes,
instead of hda3 it went to hdb3, which is (um, WAS) my Ubuntu 64. After all
the work fine-tuning my breezy 64, kanotix wiped it off the hd :shock: .
**Begin Rant***
People, I tried to get information on another forum, and only got a bunch of
"it's a problem between the chair and the screen, were you drinking, was it late
at night, etc." I saw very clearly what the installer reported. It said one thing on
the screen and did something different. I wasn't blind, drunk, or sleepy; kanotix 64
showed an installation to hda3, and installed to hdb3.
**End Rant**
I spent yesterday going over my hardware, but not being a technician I can't
rule out a hardware problem. I tried the kanotix home site and forum, but so far
no replies. Any idea what could have happened? I miss my breezy 64; it was
working like a thoroughbred :cry:
