So I installed F12 x86_64 version the other day. Everything was going okay. So today I signed on to my windows 7 instead. While I was on it. I was looking at the extra space I had allocated for F12. Well I thought I was going to delete that but I actually deleted the F12 partition. This means that I don't have a MBR anymore. Is there anyway I can get my original MBR back onto my windows 7? I'm going to buy a separate hard drive to install windows 7 later. I just would like to know if I really screwed up by deleting F12. If this helps, it did switch my bootloader from the main MBR in 7, to grub. I tried EasyBCD to reinstall it but it keeps say it failed.
For whatever reason, I somehow deleted my top panel and couldn't shut down. I built a new one and have put some apps on it but still could use 'Places' any idea how to recreate that? Can my original panel be restored? I am still very new to this.
lol title says it all, im pretty new with using ubuntu and was messing around, I honestly dont reember what i was trying to do, but anyway, it ended up with me deleting the /usr/bin/ld file, it didnt really change anything and everything performed as normal untill i tried to compile some c++ code a few days later. now its giving me the error, collect2: cannot find 'ld', ive been searching all over looking for how I can get it back or reinstall it, seems no one else was dumb enough to do what i did lol forgot to mention, its not in the recycling bin because I override the file, then deleted it..
In the Folder /bin I was following along with a tutorial on Linux.org where it was showing me how to edit a file (.bashrc) nad supposedly would not Delte a File without a Warning.The file I would like to put back in the /bin Directory is znew , I am not sure what it does yet but I would like to put it back anyway. Can someone tell me how to redownload that Single File from a Linux Mirror possibly?
While experimenting with rsync, I accidently deleted a bunch of files in the /proc directory. I think it was the directories: 1, 2, 3 ... 10.This happened a few days ago and after rebooting a number of times, I do not notice any problems.
I was trying to move a Alsamixer shortcut icon I made to the task bar and I accidentally deleted the speaker volume icon and internet icon.how do I get them back?
I searched the forum with various terms and didn't find anything, so my apologies if this is a common and/or newbie problem.It seems that when I have a USB driveplugged in to switch the files around, those that I delete are still taking up space. I first noticed it with a Chinese MP3 player and thought it was the player being crappy. I could still play all the songs that were supposedly gone. Today, I noticed it with a little thumb drive that I've had for years. I plugged it into my husband's computer running winXP, and the files showed up in a weird, unusable form. I was able to delete them for real.
So my internet stopped working yesterday so in an attempt to fix it i somehow removed the network managing app. So now i have no internet on ubuntu. I need to figure out a way to get the network app onto ubuntu again so i can have internet. Oh i have ubuntu 10.10.
I'm very new with kubuntu. A friend st work turned me on to it. Seemed very simple. After a few days palying with it on a dual boot...i decided to fully install. I could not get thw wi-fi to work. Decided to reinstall. Could not get the reinstall to initiate. Tried to reinstall 7. no good.
I made a big rookie mistake in a script in cron.daily, which emptied the directory when I tested it... now I'm left with an empty cron.daily directory, and from what I know there definitely were more scripts there than only my own. Does anybody know what scripts CentOS 5.4 (Final) needs in the cron.daily?
So I am working on a clients PC, and after I saved their data on an external hard drive I left it plugged in while I reinstalled Windows for them.....I HATE Windows. Stupid OS doesnt know any better than to just go deleting everything. Ubuntu would have known better than to delete multiple hard drives like that.
Anyway, please tell me I can salvage this data for my client? It was probably just reformatted. The data should still be there right?
Lifetime Windows user here, finally decided to dualboot Ubuntu =) So far, I've been doing pretty good with figuring things out on my own but now...I was customizing the panel and accidentally clicked "remove from panel" on the clock, which took with it the controller for banshee, bluetooth menu, ect. I can use Add to Panel to get a clock back, but it doesnt have the other things that were attached to the default one =S
emoving some applications/libraries in synaptics and accidentally removed gnome-core.I am on a wpa2 hidden wireless network, and getting that up and running through the terminal in recovery mode has been killer, I've searched about half a dozen threads and nothing is seeming to work.My wired like is pretty far away and I really do not want to keep moving my desktop all over the house.When in the terminal i type apt-get install gnome-core it tells me I need to download 11 new packages, of course it fails because theres no connection. Is there any way I could use a command to compile a list packages I need to reinstall gnome-core, manually retrieve them from the ftp.us.debian.org, save them to eternal media and install them with dpkg -i *.deb?
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my laptop.Its a dual boot with XP, have been using ubuntu/xp for a while now..Till now i always used to remove older kernel images after ubuntu update, then update grub and do "sudo apt-get autoclean" never had any problem at all.i skipped the second step, i removed the old kernel image and did "Autoclean" on apt-get but forgot to update grub.
Now after i have reboot, when grub loads i can see only 2 "Memtest" lines in grub list and 1 "windows xp" line.the "Linux kernel generic" line is missing. I can boot in xp (have done just that to post this) but since there is no line in grub list to boot into Ubuntu, cant boot in Ubuntu.Is there any option, something i can do at "Grub" to boot into Ubuntu?

I accidentally deleted /usr/lib , by trying to delete a file from that directory, i didnt notice there was a blank space before the file i wanted to delete , so i had to reinstall fedora 14 again but it's ok because i just installed fedora yesterday.The question is if i can just make a backup of the whole directory /usr/lib , and other important directories and if something goes wrong , can i just copy and paste to their respective directories ? will that restore system stability or will it crash because of time stamps or anything like that.
I'm new to Linux and Fedora. I installed Fedora a short while ago and inadvertently deleted the top panel that lists the applications, files, etc. How can I get this back? I can't even access the terminal because that was listed under applications.
I'm trying to install windows xp on a hard drive that has fedora installed. When I booted the windows xp cd, it would get stuck on a blank black screen after displaying the words ""Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration."I searched for that problem and the solution to it seemed to be to clear the mbr. I tried doing that in fedora from the terminal using: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda1 bs=446 count=1That didn't work. I kept getting this message:0+0 records in0+0 records out0 bytes (0 B) copied, 2.2978e-05 s, 0.0 kB/sAt this point, I backed up all my data in fedora thinking that I would delete the fedorainstallation and start anew with xp and then reinstall fedora.
I had an old slackware cd around that I thought I could use to run fdisk from and delete the partitions for fedoraen I did that I found that it wouldn't recognize anypartitions. I kept trying to print out the partition table and it would display nothing.But I can view the partition table when I run fdisk from the terminal in fedoraUnfortunately I lost the cds I used to install fedora long ago and I don't have any blank cds that I could write isos to. So, my question is would there be any disastrous consequences if I deleted the fedora partitions from the terminal while running fedora?
I am using Fedora 10 on my laptop. For some applications i still have windows XP installed. Because of the fact that Windows has to be reinstalled once a year (it's only windows ) I deleted the MBR accidentely. Now I can't start Fedora again.When I start Linux using the Installation CD of Fedora 10 my partition is not mounted automatically because I am using LVM.

I have a Fedora 11 with 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE kernel.I accidently deleted my boot partition by
Code: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 Is there a way to repair the boot partition without reinstalling Fedora? I still work with the booted system, but I think a can't reboot :-(
I'm having a weird issue, I have Virtualbox 3.1 installed on the Fedora 12 and everytime I restart the "/dev/vboxdrv" gets deleted so every time I need to run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup".
I recently deleted some files. I would like to know are the files kept in a directory? Like in windows recycle bin. I would like to know where these files are?
I am trying to setup DNS domain name in my server (Fedora), which has static ip address.First, I put the DNS domain name in system-config-network->DNS->DNS search path. After restarting the network, it is deleted automatically.second, so I put the DNS domain name in /etc/resolv.conf as search mydomainname . After network restart, it is also deleted automatically.In both case domain name did not work (i.e, I can't connect to my server from outside using domain name, I can by ip address, internet is working fine).However, I found that the domain name is written in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 with search=mydominaname.
I had a back-up of the files of someone . He realized that he wants those files , after I had deleted them . And now I need to recover them . How can I do that?
