[CS-FSLUG] IDE Errors and windows defrag

[Christopher Rose]

Last I checked, you couldn't defrag linux. Any rate, the way I see, since I am not a "gamer", I do not see a real need to have windows on my computer (on another partition or otherwise). Other than that, I would not be surprised if it is a windozer thing. Think I will send and sit for now. I am downloading ByzantineOS Linux, which is supposedly live boot. I will just have to wait, see, then report. Let you all know soon.

Pax,
Christopher
