I want to install Ubuntu 11 on my Dell Mini 9. Using ubuntu.com, I created a USB drive. I was successful in running Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. However, I could not install Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. There was a screen that had a checklist of three items on it. One of them was having enough free space on my hard disk, which I do not. The hard disk is just too small.
Hi everybody,
I've been trying to clone a 300GiB windows volume onto a 750GiB hard drive because I'm running out of storage space. The image is(ideally) going from a 500GiB hard disk with another 200GiB ext4 volume onto a completely blank 750GiB hard drive.
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
Hi, I'm trying to mount my failing NTFS hard drive (now RAW) as read-only so I can image or clone it with ddrescue. When I try to use ddrescue it does nothing and reports 0 bytes rescued.

Seemed to solve this problem by mounting his input drive. But I don't know what filesystem type to specify when mounting the disk.
How to mount compressed disk image?
Here is my situation: I have hard drive with (fresh) OS installation. I made compressed image of that disk to another disk.
How to make compressed disk image to file (on another disk):
sudo cat /dev/sdb | gzip > disk.img.gz (sdb is source)
If free space is zero-ed, compression is much better.
Today i started having a weird problem with my external usb disk, i copied some files to it, and the first bunch copied without a problem, but then it unmounted itself halfway through, and now everytime i try copying something to it it starts copying the file but then it unmount s itself at middle of copying it (usually at exactly 64,4 megabytes for some reason).
Title says most of my problem. I was recently running into warnings saying I was low on disk space. After running the disk usage analyzer I removed some old backups and cleared out some extra space. However it is reporting that my 488GB hard drive is using 344GB but the detailed report only lists the '/' directory as having 10GB used. So my question is where is the other 350+GB being used?
Our Windows Server 2003 server was setup with only 12GB on the C drive, therefore we now have disk space problems.
Yesterday I freed up 1 Gb of space (by moving the pagefile to D), then came in this morning to see only 17.2 Mb available, when looking at the drive properties. But when I use chkdsk, it says there is 1.13Gb available.
When installing, I disable the swap partition, and it's fine (~ 600 MB free space after install), but after some time the disk fills up with I don't know what till the system fails some critical task due to insufficient free space and I have to reinstall. This happens without installing any additional applications. I keep all my data on a separate disk.
What to do?
