How many times have you irreprarably borked your PC? - Apr 14, 2009 20:41
I'm on about number four.

I'm dual-booting XP and Hardy Heron. 4 partitions, 2 of which are windows. I just extended my C: partition, deleted my D: partition, and didn't spend a moment's time to consider what GRUB would think about that when it tried to find everything upon booting.

Now, this is the part that stumps me. Somehow, in the process of deleting /dev/hda2.... I've fucking destroyed GRUB. No warning, no nothing. I get an error 17 on boot, and updating my MBR has done absolutely shit-all.

I suppose the silver lining is that I "had" to go out and splurge on one of those little WD passports. Y'know. The sexy ones?

So folks. How many times have you borked your home PC?
