if you must know the mistake i didnt admit. i have an nt4 server and i have policies, so one day i made\edited the nt policy and managed to inflict the policy on the administrator acount which meant i couldnt logon and change the policy but than i resinstalled nt but made the mistake again, so i had to reinstall it again and now i have a ghost image. but recently i made another mistake (no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) anyway i was in a very linuxish mood so i ended up atempting to install ubuntu lite 1.1 as usuall i didnt pay much attention to the messages. but i tried to install anyway, i found that the cd was dodgy so i restarted and found out it had repartioned my c drive (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) so i install windows i decide lets try 98se2me, and the sound card drivers so i install these files in it from this thing on drivers guide, restart you need to upgrade to dos 8 (NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) reinstall windows again and it keeps installing hard ware like com ports and stuff (huh ?????) anyway i install the network card and the sound card restart logon BSOD vxds (NO!!!!!!!!!!!) reinstall again now i havent installed the soundcard yet created a ghost image
