.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I got a problem. By a accident someone changed C: to T: I have tried every trick in the windows book, to change it back by so far, no luck. Then I saw that it was possible to install and run linux installment from a usb stick, but im a total noob when it comes to linux. So I need some help and advise. Its an old Win XP based laptop, that have a specific purpose, so I cant just throw it out. So is it at all duable?

No. Windows problems need to be fixed from within windows. See support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/help/223188/… You can do this with a windows prompt/rescue dvd or usb. And I would ask this on superuser.com for a method within Windows XP itself.
