This is my life now. Using Linux to partition and tried to stop immediately after staring. Lost everything I just rebuilt; can't even format

It has been years since I messed around with Linux esp. Mint but I seem to remember that it has a partition command that in execution reformts and disappears everything, but when it does that it creates a "hidden" partition and compresses everything into it. You have to get into your computers "root" directory if I remember correctly to find the dang thing. I don't have my hard copy books on linux/mint anymore but you might wan't to research that.

Dang you are boogered then.
The only thing I can remember was having to restart and clicking F-8 until a command screen came up ...I think you had to yell NEE! and kiss both elbows but I'm not sure. -

Sometimes the old things work better than the new.
Maybe this is the place all those lost IRS emails went. -

I may be out of line here but it appears to me you've spent so muc time and effort on this nonsense that you'd have been better off buying a cheap, used Windows 7 machine dedicated ONLY to blogging while leaving a regular desktop unit for personal use.
Either that or just buy a new Win8.1 machine (about $350 or so) and save yourself a lot of grief.
Better yet, buy a new hard drive, ditch the old one, load Win 7 brand new into it and start fresh. -

Ah, how much better is Linux than Windows 8.1 again?
I am very happy with my Windows 8.1. -

Damn, Rodge, based on what you said a week or so ago I downloaded LinuxMint 17 (MATE) and did a dual installation on an old Vista machine. So far I love it! I can't believe how much faster it runs. It came pre-loaded with Libre Office (reads ALL my MSOffice files), Banshee (even supports my iPod Nano), and I found Linux versions of other software I use alot. Installation couldn't have been easier and it set up the partitions all by itself.
Windows 8 sux dead donkey dongles. -

Sorry, dear friend. Your vow "til death do us part" didn't mean the OS. You're stuck with us.

Windows 8 sucks. Windows 8.1 fixes a lot of that.
SUSE's a great and easy Linux version, which can be dual-booted on a Windows system.
I have Mint 17 on DVD, but haven't yet played with it.

Get yourself to a command line (boot from the Mint CD/DVD) and run 'fsck' (FileSystemChecK). If it was a Windows drive, you might be able to repair it using the Repair(? - it's been a while) mode on the Win install disk.
