  • 生活篇

    ‘你好嗎?’ 最近時常被人問起﹐坦白說句﹐不是很好。 我有如重見天日在這部落格﹐ 因為狠心的版主把印尼的IP給阻攔了, 每天只能看不能說﹐發泄在這部落格﹐但的確印尼相等於危險﹐所以有顧慮也是應該。 短短的一個月﹐ 我就經歷了海嘯的余震﹐感覺還不賴因為我自己還以為誰在猛搖我的電腦﹐直到同事叫我把護照及貴重物跑到底樓﹐我才恍然大悟。。。哈哈

    余震之余﹐還看到了遊行﹐好像是與某國家的開戰有關﹐嚴重的造成交通阻塞。

    回到這感覺就比較美好。。。。愛要有你才完美 🙂

    生日快樂﹐黃琮正。。。遲來的祝福

  • fixmbr and fixboot in Windows XP

    Since 2 weeks ago, my Thinkpad dual booting Ubuntu and Windows XP . Today, I pandai-pandai(be smart) went to did some testing on fixmbr to my hard disk. Why I did that because I was thinking to wipe off ubuntu partition so that I have more space to keep porn David Blaine magic shows or whatever it’s.

    So, to be frank, I have no idea what is fixmbr, I only spent 10 minutes reading what is mbr and how to make the machine boot into windows without grub. So, I am very smart, boot into Windows Recovery Console and did this;

    fixmbr /device/harddisk/partition01

    When I rebooted, looks likes bad sign, it still boot with grub, when I selected Windows XP Professional option to boot. It came out this;

    Invalid disk (Oh sai(shit)!)

    After that, I started to think what’s wrong? What about my data? Is it gone? Then Jef came to our office, I told him I did something on MBR, he said “Oh no… You windows is gone, you can’t play with MBR”. When I heard that, it’s like my soul fallen into 10th courts of hell. So we tried to reinstall FreeBSD(ubuntu can’t boot either) and keep the NTFS drive, tried to make it dual boot and tried to make some tweak on /boot/loader.conf, to see wether it can boot into Windows or not, and the result is — FAILED (now rearch 12th courts of hell).

    That time, I started realise how usefull Ubuntu Live CD was. Ubuntu Live CD, you can immediately boot into gnome, use firefox to search for resource on how to recover it. I found fixboot.
    And I did this in recovery console;

    fixboot

    and reboot, and now I am booted into Windows to write this entry. Lesson of the day, don’t try to step into hell’s courts when you are still live in the wonderful world.
