Hi everybody. This seems to have stumped everyone in the chat, so lets see what we can think of here. I am trying to mount my C drive, so that I can access it through Ubuntu. I have it set up like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows ntfs ro,user,unmask=0222 0 0 we have also tried hda2, hda3, hda4, and hda5; but they all return the following error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I am almost 100% sure my other harddrive is nt

Yes, that was the problem. *resolved*

Well, after much talk with forum and chat members, and after ordering a new hard drive, I finally made the switch. I now have Ubuntu Linux running on my 80gig slave drive, w/ dual boot. I must say, Linux is going to take some time to learn, and I'm sure I'll be happy with the outcome. I'm glad I finally made it over!

Nevermind.. I got all that. I got the hdd installed, and when I logged on, I got the little popup bubbles telling meit has found the new drive, but it isn't shwoing up under my computer. Any ideas why? edit: but it is showing up under the device manager edit2: working on it in chat... Matt

Well, I got my hdd last night. And I plan to install it today. I was just wonders.. are there going to be securing screws in my case? becasue it doesnt look like any came with the drive... Edit: also.. how do I configure it so that it will be primary slave? Matt

ROFL!!!

The link now works, and i see it in your sig. looks good!

Hmm.. not sure, il keep you all posted though

Hey all, Most of you probably know the billy joel song "we didn't start the fire". Well, here's a flash video Ive had bookmarked for a while that is a little slideshow of everything in the song. Its quite cool (and if you haven't heard the song before, you can now) http://www.its.caltech.edu/~yel/Fire.html Matt

Welcome to the fourms, I'm sure you'll love it here! If you get a chance, check out the chat (a link is in the upper right corner) Matt

Hey mac, I haven't gotten mine yet.. It will probably be some 6-8 weeks thing, The 8 week mark is coming up. hmm

HAPPY BDAY!!!

OK Pierce and t0c answered in the caht. I am able to connect 2 deiveces to 1 ide port. So im good, all i need to do is buy a different ide cable. Matt

OK, I'm not sure If I have a problem or not. I opened up my case, and yes, the floppy drive uses a different kind of connector. BUT I seem to have only TWO IDE ports. It looks like my 2 cd drives are sharing one, and my current harddrive has the other. Is it possible to only have 2? If this is the case, can I make my two harddrives share the other one I have? This really sucks if not, the harddrive is alreay on its way. Any suggestions would help. (I'm not sure if you addressed this in your last post or not robroy...) Matt

I'm not sure about your flash problem but plugins are stored in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins if you still wish to remove it ( i know the flash plugin is there too)

thanks all for the help Harddrive Ordered
