any appreciated!

*i've tried install linux mint 12 lxde "mint4win" , i'm getting same error :s :s :s

that's not error. 'error' part happens on every wubi install, every time boots (since 11.04 released) , it's more error there's error.

so... wait minute or , see happens. last time reported sort of problem said took minute before booted. isn't normal though.

maybe try defragging drive?

how to devide a circle into equal parts

-
how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
