Hardware :: HDD Recognized In Ubuntu 9.04 But Partially On Windows
Mar 11, 2010
I'm actually using both system, Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP, I got an HDD Western Digital (WD4000YR) with 400GB capacity, I have this weird problem (confirmed on other MoBo's with the same problem):
Power on the PC > In BIOS, disk capacity is 150GB > Start on Linux > In linux, disk capacity is correctly display: 400GB > Reboot > Start on Windows > disk capacity is correctly display: 400GB
BUT IF
Power on the PC > In BIOS, disk capacity is 150GB > Start on WINDOWS > in Windows, disk capacity is incorrectly display: 150GB
Linux its the solution to my problems, if I start on linux and then i REBOOT to windows works fine, but it doesn't if I turn OFF the PC. I need both systems due to incompatible software. My question is: Why in LINUX the disk works fine and if I reboot the disk continues doing just fine? What linux do that windows doesn't on the disk thing? I though maybe adding a line in windows option of the GRUB or something.
What I tried:
Fill with zeros using the WD tool, resign and format in Windows
Fill with zeros using the WD tool, resign and format in Linux
Format in Windows
Format in Linux
I have to say that the disk works great, when I do that (start linux then reboot to windows) the disk works just great, I had large movie files in there and works. So maybe the disk its not.

I have tagged my mp3 collection using Rhytmbox. The problem is that my mp3 player is a Windows based and does not recognize these ID tags. Also, when I examine files in Windows, I see only empty spaces. When I did tagging in Windows, mp3 player recognized them without any problems. Any recommendation for some SW to ID tag my mp3s that would also be recognized by Windows/my mp3 player?

I am trying to make a multipass USB flash drive which basically turns say a bootable live iso into a flash drive, but many of them at once and accessing them using GRUB. The only issue I am having is I have to do this in Windows. So I am currently using my VM to do it and the Grub installer and petousb tool are not recognizing ANY drives at all on the system. I can use my usbs on the VM though.

I have a computer which I upgraded to Windows 7. But when I upgraded it, I forgot about the Ubuntu Install Inside Windows partition I had, and when my disc was formatted, it deleted Ubuntu but not the partition. The partition isn't recognized by Windows AT ALL, but when I start it up the boot menu still gives me an option to boot into Ubuntu.

I'm trying to add more memory to Ubuntu from my windows partition, but Gparted doesn't seem to recognize the windows partiton. I've done it before using the gparted live cd, so i don't know why it wont recognize the partition. Is there some way to mount it so I can move space around?

Finally got Ubuntu installed on my machine and now I can not get windows to boot from GRUB.My windows partition is located at /dev/sda2 and here is my menu.lst file.When I reboot my computer GRUB will not load. It always gives me Error 21. The only way to get it to run is to turn the computer off and then back on.When selecting Windows 7 from the boot list the first time or two it will just send me back to the list after a brief blank screen then around the 3rd time I select it, it tells me NTLDR is missing.

I formatted with mkfs.nts a USB 500 GB external drive. Under Linux when I connect it to the USB port it's recognized and works. Under windowz 7 home is's seen in the device list but not in the computer window. I can't do anything with it apart eject it. This is what I get from fdisk:sudo fdisk /dev/sdcThe number of cylinders for this disk is set to 60801.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)Command (m for help):
and this from fdisk -ls /dev/sdc:
gt[~]$ sudo fdisk -ls /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

I'm running a dual boot of Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. For months now everything has been just wonderful. Recently, however, I tried to add another partition (in windows) and saw that my Ubuntu partition is recognized as RAW. I formatted it as NTFS originally. In Ubuntu, it is recognized correctly (ext4). I don't know what's going on. I'd like to be able to install drivers to recognize this partition in Windows. Will I have to reformat? I'm not sure if it's at all connected, but probably worth mentioning: while booting into Ubuntu, I received an error about "usplash mode failed." It also said something about "mount of filesystem failed." (I really, really wished I had written down the error message.) Everything seems to work now.

I have a remote server which has been working perfectly for about 1 year. It is in a secure location and used for serving a local web-app, and we remote administer it through an OpenVPN tunnel, and previously a Hamachi tunnel.It has in the last few days become partially unresponsive. What I mean is that I can ping it fine through the VPN, and I can SSH into the box, but when I try to run some commands, it seems to freeze partway through, and I get the output interrupted and a blinking cursor. I have also tried to access the web-app through the VPN and while the page header in the browser changes to the correct page name, the actual page does not load.A reboot does not seem to have cleared the problem, although I cannot be certain at this moment that the reboot command actually completed, or froze partway through

I'm running an English language Ubuntu 10.10 and after a fresh installation, I installed support for the Spanish language via Administration> Language Support. After unistalling that language it still keeps ramdonly appearing in some parts of the system. For example in System>Administration>Configuracion del cortafuegos (Firewall configuration) (!!!!). Another example is in the terminal. The biggest part of it is in English, however all the lines that show, for example when installing a package, are in Spanish

I am testing to see whether after connecting to an Image on a server with VMware View Open Client I can get it to add a local desktop connected printer(usb). In Ubuntu 10.04 I have made this printer the default and printed a test page just fine, but when I go through VMware to a Windows Image all I can see are the printers that are connected to the local network. need to be able to deploy this to any location and add or see printers on the fly. As when it goes into the field it will be on a Wi-fi card to connect to the Windows Image through VMware. Am I missing a driver, or do I need to add something in the Startup Applications so it see's the printer outside of Ubuntu?

Since installing Lucid LYNX LTS on my Netbook. (See: [URL] [#136]). Via USB, I can connect my iPhone 3GS. It gives me two simultaneous choices:
Open F-Spot and Open Rythmbox.
In addition, I can also "Open / Browse Folder". As such, I can view / import photos and videos made on the phone, as well as video PODCASTS. I can also play my music files
What I cannot do:
1) Play / find my purchased audiobooks [decryption not supported]
2) Locate the mp4 videos / movies (NOT encrypted) that I transferred to the phone via iTunes on my MacBook.
3) Send a file via bluetooth to the phone [the Indicator Applet does allow me go go as far as select the file. It gets to the point of "connecting" then "unknown error occurred"
I cannot sync the addressbook, calendar, or notes on the iPhone with my netbook. I have the following libraries installed:
ifuse
libmobiledevice-utils
libmobiledevice0
libplist++1
libplist1
libusbmuxd1
python-imobildevice
usbmuxd
NOTA BENE: This phone is NOT jail-broken.

I have a script that pops up a jpg file several times a day as a reminder. The script is called up by crontab and it works perfectly.The issue is that I want the script to also perform a system "beep" in addition to popping up the jpg file. When I test it on the command line everything works but when I run it in cron the jpg file pops up but the beep doesn't beep. I'm thinking the problem is in the "echo -e \a" part. I must be missing something.Here is my script:
#!/bin/bash
echo -e \a
sleep01; echo -e \a

I just tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but since update-manager did not show the upgrade button (for some reason it did not know that there was a new release?), I tried upgrading using sudo do-release-upgrade.This only worked partially though, and now when I run lsb_release -a it says that I am running maverick, but when I try to run update-manager, it says that the upgrade was only completed partially, and it suggests that I try to finish the upgrade, but it then gets the following error:"An upgrade from "maverick" to "lucid" is not supported with this tool"

I have a 320GB external HDD with 2 partitions, both primary:
1. vfat 100GB
2. ext3 remainder
Both were formatted when I created them with qtparted. Windows 7 sees them, and says they are healthy, but does not recognize the vfat partition. Is it too big, perhaps? Short of moving everything off the vfat partition and recreating it with W7, how do I fix it? I think W7 uses some sort of extended fat32 now?

My recent install of 11.2/KDE on a laptop suffers from a strange misbehaviour of the compose key (I have declared the Windows and Menu keys as Compose). It appears that two different sets of composing sequences are active, depending on the application.
I have to explain that I use a lot of unusual characters on a regular basis and therefore keep adding more sequences to /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose. I have even redeclared a couple of predefined sequences to values that are more useful for me. All these work fine, for example in a terminal window (konsole or xterm) or in konqueror, or even in OpenOffice.
However, other applictions seam only able to handle the default set of Compose sequences. This applies, for example, to Firefox or Gimp. It does not matter whether they are invoked from the command line or from a desktop icon. I tried both the Firefox shipped with OpenSuse, and a download from mozilla.org: Same result.
I tried to delete other Compose files from /usr/share/X11/locale/* but it did not help. I wonder where the default rules are actually found after deleting all the Compose files, even if (for some reason) the locales have changed in these applications.

In my system, I had installed windows XP first and had deleted one of the partitions (made free space.I am not a techy. I dont know the exact term). In that space, I have installed PC Linux OS (Linux). Now, I want to use that free space to Install Ubuntu by removing the PC Linux OS. When I boot with the live CD of Ubuntu 9.1 to install, in one of the steps, it says the system does not have any OS. It neither recognises windows nor the other linux. Kindly help me. What should I do now. Could I manage to install Ubuntu without completely formatting the system all again.

I have a HP g6t, previously fully running 11.04. I wanted to root my HTC evo 4g so I decided I *needed* to install windows 7. I created a 20GB partition with gParted, then downloaded and burned .iso of windows 7 my laptop came packaged with (windows 7 home premium 64-bit). However, after installing, Windows now refuses to recognize ANY of my network drivers. This means my ethernet connection (was plugged in during set-up) as well as my wireless card.
Stats via lspci:
Network controller: Ralink corp. Device 5390
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RT8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 05)

I've made 2 ntfs volumes by mkntfs. First one is a primary partition on usb hard drive and second is a logical partition on system hard drive. I used default cluster and sector sizes in mkntfs. Under Linux these partitions are mountable by ntfs-3g, readable and writable. But fdisk doesn't recognize their filesystem type. It recognizes that as "Linux". WinXP x64 also can't recognize filesystem type of these partitions. Why windows can't work with these partitions?

I hit some trouble upgrading from FC 10 to FC 12 using the netinst CD. I had previously successfully upgraded the system from FC5 to FC10 with the same method - that time everything went well. At first the upgrade went well - the installation program found my FC installation and detected the partitions right. The problem appeared when about 90% of the rpm's were installed. Anaconda was complaining about a fatal error with a package and quit.
After rebooting and restarting the installation program it does not recognize my partitions anymore and suggests I'd format them for a fresh installation. As all my data is there I'd rather not do that. I then rebooted again and chose "Repair" from the installation menu. I got to the console and noticed that all partitions mounted cleanly and all the data seems to be there. Trying to reboot from the hard disk almost works. The system gets up, goes through grub, gets the kernel running and mounts the disks but fails to launch Xorg.
I get to a terminal login from here by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2. When I type the user name and press enter the terminal seems to crash - does not ask for the password but simply returns to the user name query. An error message flashes just after pressing enter but too quickly for me to read. When I boot from CD again and go to the terminal via the "Repair" option the previous events can be seen from /var/log/messages. Xorg tries to start and stops trying after a certain amount of failures. After that it says this:
Code:
init: prefdm main process (2123) terminated with status 1
init: prefdm main process ended, respawning
init: prefdm respawning too fast,stopped
[code]....
My best guess is that this happens because the upgrade was aborted before it completed and hence some necessary rpm's were left out. I figured I could possibly fix this by updating the packages with yum from the terminal if I got to log in. What should I do now? Could I for example try and manually copy some missing files to the disk as I can access it via the repair option?

I installed 10.04 onto an old dell and its was running great, internet etc.. I then had my home desktop crash and said great, let me bring the dell home so the wife can use it. At home, i have a wireless card ( Netgear WG311 ) that I then installed into the Dell. Being that she was needing to use it online right away, I searched for the first install as it was not detected, and used used synaptic to install the bcmwl-kernal-source as that was the prefer ed driver for Netgear. So now that I installed that, not only have I not fixed the wireless issue, I now have no wired internet. I've been searching and re reading as many steps as I can, but am running out of time as she needs the computer tomorrow. Installed the ndwrapper ? but was not able to actually get the driver installed. All the other threads seem to be older ubuntu versions, and maybe its just me but the slight variation from one to the nex has me a little confuzed.

I am using Linux and Windows 7 on the same machine and my on-board NIC is functional under both. However, the weirdest thing happens when I browse the internet under Linux and then return to Windows; my NIC stops being recognized! This happens under Windows but also in Linux when I return! This problem is then easily fixed by resetting the CMOS, but inevitably occurs again. Why does this happen? Update The CMOS reset works but is not necessary for me. Shutting down and unplugging the power cord works as well.

I have a (partially) formatted DVD+RW disc, and need to do a full format in order for wodim to be able to properly write to it, since wodim does not do DVD formatting automatically, despite what its man page says. (I want to write using wodim, NOT growisofs, since wodim has a -pad option for zero-padding, and the -pad option to growisofs doesn't work when burning an ISO file.) ,
wodim -v dev=/dev/dvd -format
doesn't work on an already partly formatted disc, only an unused one. And
dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/dvd
doesn't work either, claiming the command-line option is unimplemented (even though the usage is documented). Is there any natural way to do this, or do I have to do something ugly, like using growisofs to write an exactly 4.7 GB file to the disc?

I run openSUSE 11.2 (kernel 2.6.31.12) and I use Wine 1.1.38 to play World of Warcraft from the konsole terminal application. For the most part this works okay, but there is one small issue that continues to annoy me:
Look at your keyboard (assuming standard QWERTY no-name keyboard) - see the key just left of your Backspace key? That key is only partially working for me in WoW. I cannot bind it to any action bar button in-game, with or without addons enabled. For some reason the key works fine when entering text into the chat console though.
I have used xev to get a bit of data on the key itself - not that it is that informative to me though, but the absence of the issue when playing WoW through Windows would suggest that it is somehow endemic to my Linux configuration:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,
root 0x1a7, subw 0x0, time 6474080, (159,-10), root:(1364,15),
state 0x10, keycode 21 (keysym 0xfe51, dead_acute), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b4) ""
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: True

I need to overwrite the first say 50 or so lines of an xml file on an everyday basis. The first 50 lines of the file are always the same and the 50 lines they get replaced with are always the same. Is there a way to create a file with the 50 new lines and somehow copy/merge/overwrite the larger file such that the 50 original lines would be replaced but the remainder of the file would be untouched?This seems simple, there has to be a way to do it. I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.
