General :: Can't Access Ubuntu Partition In XP Even With Tools?
Oct 3, 2010
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 to dual-boot with XP Home on my Asus 1005HA netbook. The main hard drive is an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. I've tried all the common tools for accessing the Ubuntu partition from inside XP, but none of them appears to work. Ext2IFS didn't let me assign drive letters - in fact, it doesn't seem to detect the Ubuntu partition at all. The Ext2IFS config tool in Control Panel looks like this (the SSD is 120 GB, and the Linux partition is 10GB as I recall):
explore2fs doesn't even start. Linux Reader can't open any drive, including flash drives and external HDDs.
I can't think of anything irregular about my system except the SSD. Could that be it?

A part of my hd is ntfs (where I keep my windows and windows files). I edited it to be flagged as "bootable" in the disk tools that comes with ubuntu 10.10, and now it wont list as a file system in ubuntu (in other words I cant access it).

Do Ubuntu have a build in partitioning application. What is the name this application and where is it located?
Also is it possible to create or resize other (out-side) partitions from my Ubuntu partition? I have a 1000GB drive and Ubunta now has the first 100GB. I want to work with the other 900GB of disk space useing the partiton tool from WITH-IN Ubuntu while running, if possible.
What is the name of this tool and where is it. Are there more than one partitioning tools inside the latest version of Ubuntu?

I made a mistake with lvm2 on centos 5.2.
I used parted to create a partition inside the logical volume, and then merrily used that partition, which appeared as /dev/pv-whatever/lv-whateverp1
Of course I created the FS as ext3.
So, after a reboot, I can't access anything in that logical volume with standard tools, as /dev/pv-whatever now only has the lv-whatever special file inside.
I can look inside the LV with parted fine, but parted can't copy ext3 filesystems.
Is there any way to get the data out of a partition created INSIDE a logical volume if that filesystem is ext3?

I would like to know if there is a way that I can access my files on the Windows partition using Linux because the Linux partition does not have enough space to house all the files on the Windows partition.

I have partioned my harddrive when I installed ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition, 32-bit. But, after I installed it I can no longer access the Windows partition. I have never played with Linux OS before. I will provide a screen-shot of the partition. [URL]

I'm hoping to do something similar to the way you can install Windows on a Mac's 'Boot Camp' partition, but then you can also open that partition as a Virtual Machine using Parallels or VMware from within OS X.That way for the quick stuff, you just fire up the VM, but for the more 'intense' things, you can boot into Windows natively.The difference here being I want to use Ubuntu instead of Windows. (Don't care if I use Apple's 'boot camp' mechanism or a third-party boot manager either.)

it all started with my eagerness to have a triple boot system with XP/Win7/Ubuntu 10.04. I had xp on a PC with an Asus M/B with a single 320GB SATA HDD.Then I installed Win 7 (probably into a logical drive). It went well.Then after searching for some help I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on to another partition. Fine up to here, but when I saw I was able to access other partition files from Linux but not the other way.Then thru some help from some forums I tried to free some space from the Linux Partition and make it as a shared drive between Win and Linux.
In this process I used GParted live CD to rearrange partitions and tried to format the unallocated space it is showing "you cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk is already containing the maximum number of partitions."

I have an SSH server set up on CentOS 5.5 which I can succesfully use to access my file system remotely.
On this machine, I also have a partition with XP installed on it. Is there a way I can set up the SSH server so that I can remotely access the files on the XP partition?

I have already done the installation process following the guide on Ubuntu's site, got everything up and running but the partition that I made in the installer was too small. I was then directed by a friend (a slightly less inexperienced newbie) to modify this through Easeus Partition Manager. I shrunk the Windows 7 partition to only the space that was in use, giving the newly unallocated space to the Ubuntu partition. Set the changes and rebooted the computer, then got the message "unknown filesystem, grub rescue". Now have no idea what to do with this. What happened??
I've been scouring the forums for something helpful but I can't find anything that is a comparable circumstance.I can still access Ubuntu through my flashdrive.

I checked xen-tools on a Debian Lenny system
Got following
Code:
This package contains tools to manage Debian based XEN virtual servers.
Using the scripts you can easily create fully configured Xen guest domains (domU) which can be listed, updated, or copied easily.
Homepage: [url] in the above output I am getting a line Conffiles and then you can see a series of /etc what are that and is it an error or some conflict?

I've recently just installed ubuntu 11.04 but seem to have made a big mistake. During the install process I was asked to specify a location to be used for swap. Not really understanding what this meant I chose another partition on my drive with some free space but also a lot of my data. Needless to say I now cant see that partition. Is there anyway for me to access it? or to at least recover the information I need from there? its about a 200gig partition, and it used to be ntfs.

I have an HP laptop with a recently installed copy of Mint 8 KDE Community Edition. I created the initial admin user account ("joseph") when I installed.
I had an existing home directory under a different name from another installation, so I added a user with that name ("joe") and imported a copy of the original home directory. The user "joe" didn't have the same admin privileges as the initial "joseph" account, so I added "joe" to the sudoers file and the same groups as the initial admin user.
Everything works perfectly under this arrangement, for the most part. Now here's the problem:
I have a T-Mobile G1 phone that uses Android. I've rooted and ROM-modded the G1, and have the microSD card in the phone set up with two partitions. The vfat partition stores all the photos, music and other stuff the phone needs. The ROM mod allows me to store apps on the SD card, so that second partition uses ext3 for its file system.
When I'm logged in as the admin "joseph" account and I insert the SD card in the laptop's card slot (or plug the phone into the USB port), the SD card can be mounted, and I have full access to both card partitions. I can see all folders. I do this to backup the contents of the card to an external drive (especially the apps in the ext3 partition, since that's been trashed on me once before on the phone).
However, when I log in as "joe", I cannot view the contents of the ext3 partition at all. I can see the vfat drive fine, and the ext3 partition mounts, but with user/group "joseph/joseph." When I open Dolphin to view the mounted ext3 partition, I get the error "could not enter folder /media/disk-1" at the bottom of the view window in Dolphin.
Here are the relative entries returned when I run "mount" to view the mounted drives:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=1001,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /media/disk-1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
Note that the uid listed on the vfat mount is 1001, which is the gid for the "joe" account.
I know there must be a configuration setting somewhere that will allow the ext3 partition to automount under the "joe" user account. I suppose that using the admin account to change the permissions would be the easy way to do this, but there must be something that would do it automagically. I've ripped through all the config files I can find, but can't seem to find anything that would help.
All I'm looking for here is enough access to be able to copy the directories on that mount to my external drive.

Updating my kernel corrupted grub preventing me from booting. Running the grub shell to restore the primary stage bootloader, restored bootability. It is important to note, that several months ago, I had a similar failure that corrupted the MBR.Are there any Linux based tools to check an HD for sanity? By the latter I am not only understanding software integrity but also hardware sanity.
