The preferred solution would have been to investigate the source of the original problem until you found and corrected it. Then you could have repaired the installed system and either used it as before or upgraded it. Now I suspect there's a 'hybrid' *broken_9.3->partial_10.0* system in place that might not repair using either of the install CD's.
Yes. I would have preferred that too, but couldn't see a way forward. However, it's looking more and more like a h/w problem as time goes on. Windows has now started spontaneously re-booting on me. So it's clearly not just the Linux installation. Good job I didn't start trolling!
It's a good thing none of your data is at risk. It'd be a really good idea to find the cause of the original problem so it doesn't rear it's ugly head again regardless of the version you install.
Yes. Trouble is I don't see how. I can't even get to a login in Failsafe mode now (even before the aborted update).
One thing you definitely want to keep an eye on is how much free disk space you've got. I once had a system completely fall over and irretrievably trash the filesystem because it ran out of room when I was editing a huge photo gallery in The GIMP. By the time I figured out what was going on it was too late. I had backups, fortunately, and only the '/' filesystem was affected.
Definitely no problem there. I've got oodles of disk space.
good luck!
Heh. I think I may need it. That and money, 'cos it looks like a new box. Anyone have any recommendations?
