View 5 RepliesI've had Ubuntu for quite some time, but recently I got my hands on a copy of a Windows 7 Upgrade disk, and thought that I would like to dual boot between Windows and Ubuntu. I wiped Ubuntu from it's partition because I know that Windows is picky and needs everything to be clean to be installed. Then I proceeded to install Windows 7 using the upgrade disk only to find that the product key to activate Windows wasn't valid. This was because I tried to clean install Windows 7 instead of upgrading. Then I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer and was able to dual boot between Ubuntu and Windows. After reading online, I discovered that all I had to do was reinstall Windows once I was running Windows for the product key to be valid. Now windows is running great on my computer, but I am unable to find the Ubuntu partition to boot into it. Every time I turn on my computer it goes straight to windows and I don't even have the option to boot into Ubuntu even though it is still on my computer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy recent setup was 32-bits Ubuntu 9.10 with / on a 20 gb partition and /home on a different partition on the same physical hard drive. Two days ago the system suddenly froze while idle. I rebooted and got the error message at start up that the system was unable to mount every unit that was listed in fstab. I troubleshooted by using a Live CD but could not find any reason to why i could not find the home partition. It lists in gparted but not in terminal using df.
I've made another install on a different physical hard drive and don't care about the previous installs, but I would like to get the data out of the home partition. If anybody have any idea what to try to access it
I have a 9.10 ubuntu desktop on a tower (bought 2004) working fine, and wanted to add a 10.4 server on an additional partition. After install, I stated grub may be newly written, as the list of os was fine. After reboot I got "grub rescue>" I managed to get the system working again, and now I have a grub2 menu list stating correct entries. But when I select the server entry the boot fails telling "disk not found" (The UUID of the partition given is correct, and also shown when accessing the partition from the 9.10 desktop (this needs an additional authentification when mounting) grub shell command ls does not show the partition, all other tools (life-CD, working installation, gparted etc.) do show it normally, I cannot find any difference. The partition is on the beginning of the disk
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer from Windows 7. Originally my Hard Drive was Split into two separate partitions. One was for the OS and the other was basically a storage drive. During the install of Ubuntu I deleted the OS Partition, Installed Ubuntu in that Partition, and used my Storage partition as a Swap.
After the install was complete Ubuntu loaded great and works just fine, the only issue is I can't find the other Partition where all my files were stored. Is there any way to locate this partition and access it as you would with Windows Computer>D:>etc or is there some other way to go about this?
Say I need to do: find / -name somefile.txt
And say root partition / is mounted on /dev/sda5; however, let's say I also have 250GB partitions (/dev/sda6, /dev/sda7) mounted in /media - AND another location that I cannot currently remember. Say, also, that I know the file I'm looking for is on /dev/sda5.
Obviously, the above command will also descend in /media and that other directory which represent the big partitions, wasting time in looking for the file in the wrong place.
Is there a way to instruct find (or other command) to search only / on /dev/sda5, and NOT to descend to directories if they are on different partitions ?
I am playing with grub and i change the root using:
How can i know what's x for /dev/sda7 ?
The problem is that in Gparted view, the order is not like sda5, sda6, sda7, ...but the order is like:
So what's x for /dev/sda7 ?
Computer is Gateway Netbook with Win7. I want to install Ubuntu ,but when I go to the next window after the keyboard section, I cannot find the right combination for the partition designation. I click install on a 50gb partition I made for the install. The page asks for mount points and says no root file system is defined. I put in EXT2 and a / , page told me I should have a section for a swap file. what is the correct information for these boxes? I am installing Ubuntu to learn the linux sys and I certainly don't know inough about it to come up with these commands yet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst time trying anything like this. I'm running a Abit NF7 with a silicon image 3112 that's support was broken in 2.6.35. I get a kernel panic when VFS can't find the root partition, I can't remember the exact line (can't log it, root isn't mounted yet) but it says something like sata1: link down (sstatus 0 scontrol 0). I think there might be a more telling error message before, but it flies by too fast to see or capture with my camera video recorder.
There's a patch that reverts back to when there was a delay in /drivers/ata/libata-sff.c in the function ata_sff_tf_load, by calling ata_wait_idle(ap) which fixes the issue for some people but not my system. I don't know anything about what I'm doing, but I thought I'd go through and add printk's in each function in sata_sil and see how far the device was initialized. I did this but they all happen early in the boot that flies by. Is there any way to add a pause like the "more" command? [URL]

Does anyone know if there is a Linux utility that will do this for me?
I am unable to find other computers on my local network from my workstation.
Code:
nmap 192.168.0.*
shows me the workstation and the gateway(192.168.0.1)
My workstation has 2 interfaces: eth0 and eth1. both are checked in the "trusted interfaces" section of system-config-firewall. Network is currently connected to eth1. If I run the same nmap command from my laptop (also fedora), it outputs everything on the network but my workstation. The strange thing is that the workstation has functioning internet connection.
I was dual-booting Ubuntu (10.10) and Windows 7. I installed Backtrack in addition to these 2, and the Ubuntu GRUB was replaced with the one from Backtrack.
Now when I boot, only Backtrack and Windows 7 are listed in GRUB. When I run fdisk from Backtrack, I see all partitions, and running a Partition Manager lists the Ubuntu partition as a Linux partition. However, the partition manager says that it is unable to read the contents of the partition, and that it is unable to re-read the partition table.
Also, the Ubuntu, Backtrack, and Linux Swap partition are all listed under the same Extended partition.
I want to increase the size of my Linux partition (yellow and highlighted in image), which is situated in an extended partition, along with my biggest partition.
When I try to select the options from any partitioning software (EASUS, Paragon, Gparted) the option to resize is not available (or can't enlarge).
For example in the Paragon Hard Disk Manager, I can't add free space before the partition, even if I first shrink the "G:" partition, then try to enlarge the one with Linux.
Do you know what's happening here? Why am I not allowed to resize the partition?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used Ping Linux 8 months ago to create a ghost-like image of my primary partition. (Windows 7 on NTFS) The image is on the second partition of my hard drive (Western Digital 250 gig). I need to restore now, but Ping is unable to mount the volume. In fact, it will not mount any volume or perform any new backup. I made sure nothing has changed in Bios options since I created the backup. Does this imply that is not the appropriate tool to work on NTFS system?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out how to operate a rather large Java program, 'prog'. If I go to its /bin/ dir and configure its setenv.sh and prog.sh to use local directories and my current user account. Then I try to run it via "./prog.sh start". Here are all the relevant bits of prog.sh:
[code]...
When I actually do ./prog.sh start, it starts. But I can't find it at all on the process list. Nor can I kill it manually, using the same command the shell script uses. But I can tell it's running, because if I do ./prog.sh stop, it stops (and some temporary files elsewhere clean themselves out).
[code]...
the process is running yet not in any way listed by the system. I can't find it in ps or /proc/, nor can I kill it. But the shell script can still stop it properly. So my question is, how can something like this happen? Is the process supremely hidden, actually unlisted, or am I just missing it in some fashion? I'm trying to figure out what makes this program tick.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a multi-partition USB key to use to kick multiple OS's whenever I need (1 NTFS partition for Windows image and data storage, one ext3 for boot, another ext3 for Linux distros iso storage and the last one as a Fedora live usb with permanent storage).
I am using a Kingston Data Traveler G2 16GB usb key and I have absolutely no problem to create the partitions and all looks fine. The problem I encounter is that although I can format the 1st partition on the usd key to any fs I want, I am unable to do the same on the other partitions. I tried fdisk+mkfs.XXX (ext2, ext3, fat, vfat, ntfs) and gparted, and no luck.
mkfs.XXX gives me no errors when I run it but when I try to mount the partition in Fedora 14 the OS is unable detect the fs. Gparted allows me to format the fs, gives no errors, shows a format successful message, but when it re-scans the device the fs appears as unknown.
I know it is possible to do this as I had a DataTraveler 101 16GB and it was working fine until I lost it.
