   I don't see the download link. anyhow, I don't think I'll install it,   
   since there's some risk involved. I'll just check my HD's on a Winsucks   
   machine using Crystaldisk. Utimately what I want to be able to do, is   
   run everything I need to on the Linux PC, and not use windows at all.
