How do I set up multiple HDD? 38 weeks 2 days ago

I got some new hard discs and would like to set my PC up in the following way:

Ubuntu is currently installed on one drive I want to put Windows on a second drive I would like a third drive for shared content (music and stuff) that both OSes can access

What I need to know is what format should the content drive be?

Ok, My issue is I have Windows 7 on one HD and Ubuntu 12.04 on a second HD, I installed Ubuntu 2nd yet I can not seem to find the GRUB menu allowing me to boot into Windows, In order to boot into Windows I have to load the bios and change the HD boot order.

Both the hard drives are 136GB SCSI HDs on a raid card.

Change Boot Order Remotely 1 year 14 weeks ago

Using Windows Share, I was able to connect media in order to do an OS reload using IPMI.

However, I also need to change the boot order of the server. My issue is that I cannot seem to get to the BIOS in time using the IPMI.

I am new to Linux. I recently installed Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 onto my portable hard drive. Much to my surprise, it installed half of GRUB to the PC, and half to the PHDD. The PC does not belong to me. GRUB got removed from the PC, but that's not the issue. I want to be able to boot Ubuntu from my PHDD on any PC.

My BIOS has some problems and sometimes boot order of disks changes. I thought that if I insall grub on to the MBR of second data disk, it may boot. First disk(sda) is for boot and operating system, second disk(sdb) is for /var. All partitions are labeled and fsck has labels as partition references.

I have install grub on to MBR of second disk by "grub-install /dev/sdb".

From some time I've been getting error messages while installing some packages, for example:

requires libmagickwand4 (= 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3) ale 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2 is about to be installed

basically there are very small version differences (ubuntu3 vs ubuntu3.2), but I don't know how to fix them. Any help will be welcome :)

Glob with Numerical Order 1 year 2 weeks ago

I have this list of pdf files in a directory:

c0.pdf c12.pdf c15.pdf c18.pdf c20.pdf c4.pdf c7.pdf c10.pdf c13.pdf c16.pdf c19.pdf c2.pdf c5.pdf c8.pdf c11.pdf c14.pdf c17.pdf c1.pdf c3.pdf c6.pdf c9.pdf

I want to concatenate these using ghostscript in numerical order (similar to this):

gs -q -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf *.pdf

I had a sony vaio running windows 7 and Ubuntu but I had given it to my friend as he needed it, I bought a new desktop with windows 7 and windows 8 dual booted using w8 boot loader, Now I am trying to boot Ubuntu but I want to boot it from windows 8 boot loader can anyone please help so I can boot all 3 oses from same boot screen.Please help, thank you.

I installed the beta version of Windows 8 and re-installed GRUB. When I boot my computer and select Windows 7, I get the new Windows 8 booting screen asking to boot between either Windows 7 or 8.

If I choose Windows 7, my computer then restarts and I have to select Windows 7 again in order to boot into 7. But if I choose Windows 8 it boots right up.
