I am running Linux (Lubutu 12.10) on an older machine with a 20GB hard drive. I have a 1 TB external hard drive with an NTFS partition on it. On that partition, there is www directory that holds my web content.

Lost files on NTFS partition 3 years 18 weeks ago

Hi, I'm new to fedora but not completly new to linux.

Now i wanted to copy some folders _from_ my NTFS partitioned drive to a folder in a XFS partitioned on another drive. I marked them and clicked with the mouse and dragged the icons to the folder in the other drive.

Nothing -seeable- happens.

I prefer Ubuntu to work on, but for some applications for school, I need windows. I've done some research and have a few problems:

1) I only have one hard drive which is formatted as ext4, not ntfs.

So I have Ubuntu 12.04.1 installed alongside Mac OS X 10.4.11 on my iMac G5 with powerpc architecture.

I only have one internal hard drive and I created a small 5 GB partition on it and formatted it to fat32 with GParted in Linux, but OS X won't recognize it, Disk Utility sees it as mere empty space.

I also tried to format it as NTFS and install ntfs-3g on Mac OS X as a plugin toread and write t

...the noob I am!!!

Last night I've decided to add an extra data drive to my desktop. My normal setup is one 1TB drive divided into a 100GB ext4 system partition, 16GB swap space and circa 850GB NTFS partition with all my media. The largest part is a remnant of my previous Windows installation, which I never had time to convert to ext4.

I am a complete newbie to partitioning and I would like some guidance here. Can anyone explain what exactly I should be doing here?

I am installing Kubuntu 12.04 on a currently Windows 7 laptop. My current Partitions say this:

/dev/sda /dev/sda1 ntfs 104 MB 35 MB /dev/sda2 ntfs 319965 MB 87164 MB

Basically, what I want is some guidance on what exactly to do here.

I have a drive formatted with NTFS, and named using utf8 characters. When mounted by the system it replaces all unicode with '?' in the drive name. However, it does a fine job handling unicode within the drive itself. The drive name is identified correctly through ntfslabel the important line in fstab:

I have two HDDs>> hd0 is internal , hd1 is external.

I installed Ubuntu 9.04 in the external hdd as follows: "\home" ext3-partition in (hd1,2) "\root" ext3-partition in (hd1,3) "swap" partition in (hd1,4)

During installation, I changed the bootloader setting.

I'm running Linux Mint and have a 2TB drive that I formatted as NTFS. I copied ~120GB of files from another computer to the 2TB drive, removing the files from the other computer as I did so.
