First, this is not my first time on the forums, so I am no noob to what goes on here, I was here and was posting before the first issues with the servers and the hackers in 2009 and 2010. I also must say I am a DJ and a hardcore Gamer as well as Technician, So my needs are very high to run my system as I do. Please do not flame me for running an OS that fits my primary needs along side one that fits my backup needs. My configuration itself is listed in my sig but I will highlight the key facts below:
C:=1TB Seagate 32mb cache Windows Drive,
"D:"=320gb Ultimate Edition Install drive (this drive stopped being seen by windows after a rebuild so it does not show up.)
Right now I am Virtual boxing Ultimate Edition 3.5 in windows, because of my needs as a gamer, DJ and Technician, my windows drive is setup as my primary boot and I'm running Ultimate Edition as my backup OS for emergency purpouses. Here's my delima If I reformat I'm not going to be able to boot with Lilo, and may loose access to the drive. I need a little bit of help with this because I am not wanting to loose anything. I also lost my internet usage on the version of Ultimate Edition I'm running on the HD due to said above problem with the hardware rebuild, so I Can't just download Copy and send stuff to the cloud. what I need to know is what people think the best course of action is to go through with my Reformaat and re-install of my Pimary OS and then try to save my Ultimate Edition install by hopefully just re-installing the boot loader.
