After an entire night of pulling my hair out to why my O/Ss weren't installed I found out that the same reason the Diskette Drive wasn't searching on boot is because the Tech-guy from RL has nicked my Floppy Lead (and my Internal Speaker ).

I was trying to get WindowsXP to install then I tried to get SuSE. Only just finished with SuSE 9.1 Professional, must say that considering I've not been able to install this since 7.0, there have been some very major changes in the graphics, interface and boot-time.

Just about to try installing Windows XP in Repair mode, cause some files didn't copy. Seriously I know those I've talked to over the messengers are probably sick of hearing this, but LAST TIME I EVOR BUY ASROCK... !!!EVOR!!!

I swear the amount of problems I've had with this damn new system, buying budget hardware isn't what I remember it to be.
Well I've got some Windows applications running nicely on here, just installed Mono, so I'm .NET 1.0 Compatible

I still get that feeling from KDE that it's designed by kids, cause everything has that childish hue to it heh kinda like XP.
Surprised at just how idiot-proof this is though, Installation was a true pain in the ass cause it kept trying to take my Windows partition as it's own and leave Windows with 23GB... Yeah like that's what I want, Windows on a tiny partition

Hopefully if all goes well ::fingers crossed:: I should finally have this system back into a development state before the end of the evening. Well atleast I have it capable of doing the basics I require it too, and push comes to shove I'll just use Mono-Develop for my current project.. thank god for the C# Standard
