There goes my os

Hari ni masa tgh main dgn Bodhi Linux live-cd punya installation, terguna option Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Teman tak biasa dengan menatang LVM ni. Biasa buat manual je. Lepas tu tgk2 habis partition Windows XP aku. Adusss... sakitnya bak lagu Anang separuh cintaku pergi. Habis semua kerja2 aku yg terkini. Nasib baik dah backup kedlm external harddisk sebulan lepas. Moral story :: Baca dulu secara mendalam dan fahamkan sebelum gunakan sesuatu apps. Sentiasa backup semua data anda. Kalo tak hangus semua kerja2 anda.
