http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, this is my first post but many times I founded here the answer to my question. :) I Have a laptop (Sony Vaio) with triple-boot: vista, xp, mandriva 2010 with gnome. Today the update of Vista was unsuccesful and that os is broken, so I started to copy my files to an external hard drive. Unfortunately the usb cable went out before I dismounted the hard drive but after I deleted the files from the internal hard disk. :( How could I undelete these files? ntfsundelete and testdisk are unable to find them. I'm afraid of rebooting the laptop, because I don't want that the sectors could be overwri (HowTos)

I currently am using Ubuntu 10.10 in a septa-boot arrangement (Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.10, Solaris, Mint, Backtrack 5 R1, Mac OS X 10.6, Suse) on a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5933.

Today I connected a hard drive, via a USB-to-Sata cable, to my laptop to back up some files from my Laptop (I've done this countless times before with no issue).

Today I was trying to copy some files from my external hard drive (1TB) to a flash drive (4GB) on Ubuntu 12.10. My flash drive contained an operating system, so I decided to format it using the disk management tool that comes with Ubuntu.

Unfortunately I ended up formating my external hard drive, and it was mounted. I formated it to FAT, and in the beginning it was NTFS.

I downloaded a copy of fedora yesterday and stuck the disk in, i only booted it, something was wrong with the disk or something but i gave me an error everytime i clicked "install to hard drive" but anyways, so i took the disk out and booted back into vista, first off, it went to the screen saying vista needs to check for errors and couldn't fix the problem and shut down, then i started

Hi, I just made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu, so I'm still very confused on a lot of things. I backed up all of my files onto my SimpleDrive 500gb external hard drive, but now I can't figure out how to access it on Ubuntu. I've aleady plugged in the USB cable to my laptop, but it doesn't seem to be installing.

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.
