you didn't need to reformat..

it could have been fixed quickly with a command or two....


what is the current problem since vista is now freshly installed ?

please explain how it crashes, be specific, also include how far you get when rebooting after the crash !

hey, thnx for the reply inobe. and im sorry i haven't replied sooner.
Vista gets to the boot splash screen then dumps the data on the ram to the hdd then restarts and does the same thing again!!!
Ubuntu just has scrolling white text on the screen!!!
Sorry, im not very good with linux.
