A friend dropped off a Netbook and asked if I could install Ubuntu on a 128gig SSD he just purchased. I had to install the SSD first.
The SSD was an external and was in it's own case.
All I had to do was remove it from the case, install it in the Netbook and take the Hard Drive out of the Netbook and install it in the external case, and do a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
How can I install 12.10 on an external hard drive that I plan to put into another computer that will only run Ubuntu? I have this drive connected to my Windows 7 and the reason I'm asking is because I have tried to install from the DVD directly into this other computer without luck as the install errors out halfway through the install.
I have a old hard drive (with Ubuntu 32b) that was running my website. The site was located in /var/www/vhosts/debug.onlinelabtests.com
I removed the hard drive, and dropped in a new one. Install Ubuntu 64b. Mounted my old drive in /mnt/external .
I then made sure all my files were there /mnt/external/var/www/vhosts.
Hey Ubuntu forums, here comes a active member to the community since I'm going to use Ubuntu as my main OS.
WELL my native hard drive failed, so I'm going to go buy a external USB hard drive from RadioShack sometime this week. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my usb flash drive last year and still have it.
Hi guys,
So I was looking into how to install Windows 7 from an external USB hard drive. I found a few different programs that allow you to do this by extracting the Windows 7 image file to the external hard drive in such a way that when you boot the computer up, it will boot from the external hard drive and bring you to the Windows 7 installation process.
I have a Windows Vista Home Premium machine, and am using a WD portable drive. My external drive is showing that it is occupying space, but I am no longer able to see any of my folders in there.
Of late I had been thinking of having a fresh install of Ubuntu. So I cut-pasted all my required files and folders in my E drive. Then I decided to not to have a fresh install and just let it be.
Hello guys,
I have been trying to find some good information on how to install backtrack to my external drive but there isnt much about it. I have asked at the backtrack forums but nothing from them yet.
I decided to ask here since backtrack is based on ubuntu.
Basically I want to install backtrack on my external drive. I have a new one with 1 TB and want to use all of it for backtrack.
Hi,
I need to move my stuff, to another drive before installing a new drive and OS (Xubuntu 12.04). Yes, I regularly backup my ~/ with an app called Back in Time. I don't want to back up my whole home, as I don't want my dot files and such anymore, with the new install.
I know how to backup and restore my FF and TB profiles, now. What's left are the files and folders in my ~/ that I want.
