fsck'd my drive
After a few power failures during a week of storms I rebooted my Ubuntu Linux computer and fsck found some errors. Next time I booted it found (and corrected) even more errors, until, eventually I wasn't able to boot anymore (couldn't find grub). I have a good backup system * so I wasn't too concerned (although this was my first real test). I had run smartctl on the first sign of trouble and it didn't give any errors, so it didn't appear to be a hard disk failure. I figure this is an opportunity for me to setup 64bit version of Ubunt and I've also been thinking about dual booting to Windows ® because Steam looks like an easy and cheap way to install games. I put an old version of Windows XP in the drive and... it blue screened. It just didn't want to install. I tried two other versions and it also failed. I then got the Ubuntu disk and it installed with no problems. I tried Windows again, again it failed to install even though I had reformatted
