This was the first time I have ever formatted a USB external hard drive, so I actually never thought about it. :D



It only has 1 partition anyway, and my PC is to old to allow booting from a...

Actually mine is totally fixed now, I reformatted the WD Passport drive from NTFS to FAT32 and now Linux just sees it as /dev/sdc1/.

It no longer names it "WD Passport" for some reason.

OK, thanks! I'm learning bit by bit! :D

Your right, I meant pathways, when I put in a pathway that contained /WD Passport/, Linux was stopping at WD. I had to type /WD?Passport/ to get it to work.

I was lucky in that I didn't have that problem, I ran into issues with some fodlers have blank spaces in their names, that Linux wouldn't work with from the command line.

After I learned to add an...

Thanks guys, I think I will go with FAT32 for now, I don't think I have ever gone over 1 gig for a single file if that. I don't have a DVD player on my PC so that's not a problem either.

I use a USB Western Digital Passport drive for backup storage and it's currently still formatted in NTFS from my Windows days.

As I try out different LiveCD's of various distributions of Linux, I...

I am currently running Ubuntu 7.04 and while I generally like it, the freezing up that it seems plagued with is getting old.

I have been testing other Linux distro's on LiveCD's, and found one I...

Thanks, I think the largest file I have ever worked with was 100MB, so since this is a portable drive that I "might" need to connect to someone elses box, I thikn I will stay with FAT32.

Thanks...

OK thanks, I have found a sort of "work around" the problem, since K3B will write .iso files to CD, I made an .iso file with the data files in it and wrote it to CD and it worked.

Ain't the...

Before switching to Linux, I backed up all my documents from XP to a Western Digital Passport drive, which was formatted in ntfs. After installing Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn, I could only read the drive at...

How do I know what packages K3B needs and if they are there?

Thanks, I'll check that!

Not sure what you mean? I did make CDRskin the default writer if that's what you mean?

I've been working on it this morning and have been able to use K3B to write an .iso file to a CD and take...

I installed Ubuntu last week, went pretty good, had a few problems that I solved by searching the net, but the last hurdle has me stumped.

I installed K3b and CDRSKIN and cannot write CDs. The...
