I have an external hard drive which is not working in windows. When i insert it, it plays the sound of new hard ware found but its not apearing on my computer. i have downloaded a live cd of knoppix and i am able to access my files on the drive. My question is, Is there a way i could format this drive in linux as i cant use it in windows. it is NTSF formart at the moment. any ideas. ps i am a linux noob
i am new to linu. i know virtually nothing about it.. only the live cds.. but i dont knwo how to use them what so ever.. call me noob or whatever? but can anyone help me.. anyhthing will help.. thanx
I am a complete linux noob and am trying to run the live cd but it will not work because there is a xserver error and then there is a bunch of junk going on so does anyone know how to fix this?
The bunch of junk is a status report but it is all jumbled up and in different spots
I have a new kid at school and he uses PCLinuxOS. I told him that he should use ubuntu or linux mint etc… He is most definitly a noob to linux. I want to give him the right distro. He hasn’t installed any distro yet he just uses the live cd for PCLINUXOS. Should I give him Ubuntu or Linux mint. I think i should give him ubuntu because it has the software center. It is visually apealing and well its popular and user friendly. However I do know Linux Mint comes with all codecs pre installed. This person doesn’t even know what an exe file is until i explained it to him today. He is however all for Linux and thinks its cool. Also KDE or gnome?
I have to get in to replace volsnap.sys – I’ve played with Linux before but strictly on a Linux machine, never with Windows. How do I get into the file location to replace it if I can’t just click on the icons to lead me to where I need to be?
