Yesterday I thought I'd try to install kubuntu (the 7.crap version) on an extra hdd I put in my system. All went well, it seemed to run smooth. Then when I rebooted windows, I started to notice strange things. For example: my virusscanner/firewall started to give errors and was displayed in spanish (nothing against spanish, but its supposed to be plain bloody english). Then I noticed that my external hdd couldnt be recognised. At this point I decided: reïnstall windows. That I did, yet to be confronted by a lack of recognition of any usb device I connected. This means that, until I find a solution for that, my computer will be sitting there with no internet connection (no drivers), no sound (yet again no drivers) and everything else the damn thing can't do anymore. At the moment I've absolutely had it with computers. There will be a new system on order when I get back from my vacation (with the vain hope AMD's Barcelona will finally be released and that it will perform as expected). Here endeth the rant.
