    I just do not want to do something wrong with my pc and then cause some damage. Thank you for your answer Soma.
    Code - functions and small libraries I use


    It’s 2014 and I still use printf() for debugging.

    I don't use "Ubuntu", but I'd be extremely surprised if it involves much more than answering a few "Yes/No" questions.

    Like overwrite your Windows installation with the live CD?
    ...and there is my strategy for dealing with some of the more difficult computers I maintain: "I just don't know what went wrong; I put in my administration disc to run a virus scan over your files and the next thing I new it had "Arch" installed. There is literally nothing more I can do to support you.".

    Why do so many people run as privileged users? ;_;

    [Edit]
    Okay. Wow. Sorry, I have no idea how I got a double post.

    Well there's always the potential for something to go wrong with any adjustment to your system.
    So you should always back up first as you know.

    But it's a well tried technique. I use it on my laptop where instead of creating a seperate partition for Linux and waste space because I'm only using it for c programming I just use a puppy linux boot cd which creates an automatic save file of any size I want. The program also makes adjustments for the first
    couple of boots, so after that it is extremely fast.

    So all I need to do is reboot with or without the boot disk to get into either a Linux or Windows enviroment very quickly, no hassles.

    The windows files can be accessed from /mnt/home when I'm in Linux if need be.

    However, understand your point.
