http://ubuntuforums.org – I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit and I am having some problems trying to get my Hard Drive's UUID. I have tried manually mounting it and it works, but I have to use "-o dmask=000,fmask=111" as it is formatted as FAT32. When I run "sudo fdisk -l" it come up with: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0007eae6 &nb (Hardware)

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer, but at the end of the installation it gave me an error and it didn't install grub2. Now I'm trying to install it using the live cd:

This is my sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical):

Why won't Kubuntu load my CD? 31 weeks 5 days ago

I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and Kubuntu hasn't recognised my CD!

Here are the results of a sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000c5a8

I have 12.04 installed and have a 5 GB partition for swap.

I've added a new 3TB hdd to my Ubuntu Server 12.04 system for media (already has another drive for the OS), but it's only showing 2.2TB capacity

df -H

gives

/dev/sdb1 2.2T 208M 2.2T 1% /media/hd1

and

fdisk -l

gives

Disk /dev/sdb: 3000.6 GB, 3000592982016 bytes 90 heads, 3 sectors/track, 21705678 cylinders, total 5860533168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512

Hi friends

I pluged my mobile phone in my laptop for charging .on that time my external hard disk also plugged in that time suddenly harddisk is down and no other usb is not dictated in sub ports ............

Even though I have gapless playback enabled in Banshee's settings menu, there is a very short pause between songs. This might be due to the fact that my hard drive's partitions seem wierd.

So I'm using Ubuntu live CD to install Ubuntu next to Windows 7 but it doesn't recognize partitions.

Here is sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders, total 1250263728 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifi

Hi all,

As the title said, I tried to fix with boot-repair but it does nothing.
