Just booted up LL 3.6 from the docking station to create a new live usb.
Instead of formatting the flash drive I formatted the internal Windows 7 drive to fat 32.
Will have to do a complete re-install of Windows 7 :'( .
Lessons learned: Always check the destination when formatting drives.

Jocklad - I issue you a challenge. I understand there may still be applications that you need on Windows 7. Can you go one month without using Windows?
I in fact very rarely use Windows,Nearly all my computer time is on Linux lite or Arch Linux.
Windows is for playing with.
Linux is for getting things done.

There was nothing important on it.
I always backup my important stuff to a 1TB external drive.
Windows 7 is re-installed..............Only 184 updates to download and install. :'( :'(
Will take hours.

I thought Microsoft were now using peoples computers near each other without their permission for file sharing/to improve the download speeds.

I love Jerry's two comments here.
I have Windows down to two uses. Tax software and vSphere Desktop Client. I know I can do taxes via a browser and manage an ESXi host via vCenter, but I don't have a vCenter license, and I don't yet want to do taxes via a browser. I'm sure in my personal life I haven't logged into Windows in over a month.
