hmmm good idea - although I'm not comfortable with ANY of those tools - gonna have to get one - or make one, which means I gotta get this machine to boot if I want to be able to burn a CD hmmm what I'm thinking is that something is corrupted, hopefully not physically, on my big harddrive. so I think what I'm gonna do is take it out, get the system going with the other drive (smaller), cuz I don't THINK it's screwed (although I could be wrong) - then make a cd of one of those and maybe try my real goal as always is two fold - learn new stuff, expand skillset, but also be able to work - but right now my goal is to get the data (especially these tracks i just recorded and hadn't backed up), store it, reinstall from scratch, wipe, clean, wipe butt, shower, reinstall audio apps, get data back and be back on track. hmm deee dooommmmm - man it was screwy because this crash happened in the middle of the first session with any other players in my new studio/apartment - DOH! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Knecht" <markknecht@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "A list for linux audio users" <linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2004 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [linux-audio-user] Ardour Crash + can't boot > Aaron, > Bummer.
