I didn't even think this was possible! Here is my setup hard-drive 1: partition 1 - Windows 7 partition 2 - data partition 3 - free space hard-drive 2: partition 1 - swap partition 2 - linux I had some free time last night and was in Windows 7 trying to clean stuff up. The partition 2 - data has a lot of Photos from my wifes photography business and I thought it would be a good idea to move them to partition 3 - free space. So I decided to format partition 3 - free space and noticed it was a lot larger than I remembered. It used to be my original Mint testing environment. Little did I know.... I just formatted hard-drive 2 partition 2 - Linux!!! In the past Windows would not even see an ext partition! Why the heck did Windows 7 see it? I'm talking Samsung SSD 120 Gig all formatted for Linux. Totally sucks, but not the end of the world! So I am spending my morning re-installing Mint 14 and re-setting all of my settings and installing Wine, PlayOnLinux, Chromium, 7zip, etc. The only thing I lost was my Fable guide and Serious Sam BFE 3 Gig game. Trial-by-Fire I guess! Geesh, now I know not to trust Windows and make sure to check Disk Management first.
The only good thing I can think to say is that at lest it's on the week end...But then your pretty busy on Sundays as I recall.... So let's make that: One day you will no longer run Windows accept at work....those rusty old legacy accounts...":O}
one day... but its funny how Linux can be so uninforming and just does what you tell it to do. Even if you didn't want to do it!
Kinda gets back to "be careful what you wish for hey? Or rather be sure you know what your wishing for...":O}
