No more Spam
Hey Guys As you no ive been spaming ubuntu threads, ive stoped and im sorry, But now i have a differnt issue ( yes i finaly took defeat, stupid beryl need stupid differnt GPU )
The Issue
When i started up windows after installing ubuntu it did some wired thing ( i think it had to read the data on the HD ) and then when i logged in nothing loaded, no programs or explorer.exe just my mouse and my back backround.
I then restarted the computer and worked fine but i had an error at start up, when i tried to access wireless internet. My windows was preety screwed before hand ( missing files eg; Disabled features in Micro word, and system restor, system information, (lots more).) I think it said " windows can not read the image of netshell.dll " for the wireless internet and same error differnt file for others, so i went in took the files out and a new one majicly appeared. This time it let me acses the wireless internet but it wouldn't let me view networks, just said an error.
The soloution
Do i just have to reinstall windows? or is there a way i can get internet working? ( wireless ) Till next time, Andrew

With everything you were loading/unloading/opening/etc, I'd just say yes, wipe the entire drive clean and start fresh. Don't take this the wrong way, but it will go much quicker than having us explain everything, and be a LOT less stressful for you in the long-run.

Make sure you backup all your personal files before the format though.

It will wipe every ounce of data from your hard drive. You will need to reinstall your operating system and all programs you had. If you purchased your system from a Major company like Dell, HP, etc., then you should have a Recovery CD that came with it.

If you format, make sure you copy all of your personal files to another HDD or else you will lose them for ever.

If I were you, I would do a full reformat, on both drives or partitions.

I think Your OS didn't work because you did not defragment so some files were deleted by the reformat you did on the Partition basically your Windows Files were where you Formated and made a format. So Reinstall windows.
