Ubuntu :: Cannot Transfer Anything To Or From HDD
May 13, 2011
I have a Iomega Prestige 1TB harddrive bought it half a year ago, but now I have a problem copying anything from it or to it. When copy something to the harddrive the copying window pops up, and when the green progress bar fills about 9/10 of the bar it stops, and another window pops up saying "can't read from the source file or disk", and below it the description of the file and two buttons "Try Again" and "Cancel", but for most of the files the green progress bar in the copying window doesn't even show, and a green small bar just keeps going from left to right without starting the copying, this stays for about 15 minutes then the "can't read from source or disk" pops out. I can't copy or move anything to it or from, and right now my computer's HD is full so I really need the External HD.

Having a bit of a issue with Debian Squeeze and transferring files to the Sony PSP..Hook up PSP to USB port and Debian mounts it..I go to drag a 125 meg mp4 to video folder..Copy windows takes about 10 seconds to transfer it..Exit USB mode and there is no video there. Go back into USB mode and look at video folder on the PSP memory stick and there is no video..It vanished. From another after copy progress closed I right clicked PSP and unmounted it..
It error-ed saying device was busy and could not unmount..Looking at light on PSP i see memory stick is still being written to..i wait for light to stop flashing..About a minute or so..Then am able to unmount it..Go to PSP video and theres the video ready to be watched. Debian isnt accurately showing the copy progress...Its showing complete when it isnt..I have to watch the light on PSP to know when it is truly finished.

using Slackware 13.0, and whenever i trasfer my files to USB, like copy or cut and paste, it will show as if file transfered in an instant,like click paste and poof.the whole 1 gig file transferred in one second, and it wont show dialog box of transfer process, and then i have to predict some minutes and wait (till the transfer actually finishes, i have to usually see my USB's transfer indicator light), if i plug out before or my prediction goes wrong, i end up with corrupted files. This aint related to window manager, as same is case for KDE and XFCE tried thunar, konqueror, midnight commander, all of em resulted with same problem.

My friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.
Now the question is:
1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?

I just transferred some 300mb worth or music, and I was shocked to see it going so fast! I have some really old generic mp3 player, it was reading at 6mb/s (thats mega BYTE not BIT) and write at 2.2mb/s, sense when was usb2.0 this fast? But when I try to benchmark it with the disk utility I get an error:
Error benchmarking: helper exited with exit code 1: Device /dev/sdb is too slow to benchmark
I benchmarked my TB hdd, and I got 139mb/s! on 10.04 I got only 70ish. What did they do that's so different? According to [URL] 2.0 max speed is 480Mbits/second so that 60mb/s (member this is theoretical speed, real world speeds are nothing like this XD), I have never got that, the max I have ever got before this was 2mb/s read.

I have my server set up with AjaXplorer but there is a bug in the flash uploader that doesn't let you upload anything to the server.The only way I can update any files or add new ones is to physically plug in an external hard drive or USB drive and transfer them.I have openssh access and that's all set up, but can I transfer files somehow from my laptop to my server using like a cp command?

i have a bit of a problem and it seems i am not alone, google gave me a lot of hits but no solution.i'm running a dual-boot system on my laptop.
ubuntu 9.10 is installed on ext3
windows xp sp3 on ntfs
files are on another ntfs partition
if i want to copy a file (or folder) bigger than 250mb my laptop literally gives up until the file transfer is complete. opening up a terminal via keyboard shortcut gives my an idea how long a ice age can last.this happens with ext3 to ext3; ext3 to fat32; ext3 to ntfs and ntfs to ntfs.today i wanted to backup some files (12GB ~4k files) the first 4gb ran with 20MB/s (all open applications grayed out). after 2h i came back to see that only 6GB where done.

Alright I couldn't explain it in the title for this post so I'll try to do my best here. As of right now I'm dual booting windows xp and ubuntu 9.04. Windows is on the c drive and ubuntu is on my g drive. They are both on the same hdd just different partitions. I have another hdd that I would like to install 10.04 onto and transfer over all of my settings (and files if possible) from 9.04 to the new installation of 10.04 on the new drive. Afterwords I'd like to uninstall 9.04 from the g drive and have that part of the partition back to continue storing programs and other files for windows. Basically I want each operating system to have their own hdd but I would like to transfer my settings from 9.04 to 10.04
Is this possible? I don't have MUCH that I don't want to lose on my current ubuntu, my main issue was that it took forever to get the wireless internet router to work and it finally does and I don't want to have to go through that again. I also don't want to lose my sound system settings because that took FOREVER to get working properly, and honestly I don't remember how I did it now, it was so long ago.
So if this is possible a little guidance would be great. If it's not possible let me know, I'll just start over fresh and clean with a new beginning and tinker around until I get everything working again.

I need to find a fast way to copy a folder containing about 2 terabytes over my home network to another Ubuntu machine.In the past I have used RSYNC over ssh, but this is far too slow for this much data (probably the ssh encryption overhead slowing things down)I have looked at using SAMBA, but this seems geared for a mixed Linux/Windows network. Also I don't know if SAMBA will be appreciably faster.

i have taken a basic networking class that involved both XP and fedora. I was recommended to use ubuntu though because it's easier to use anyways i have a world of warcraft folder on a windows vista running computer and was wondering how i could use either telnet or FTP to get that ~20GB folder over to my linux desktop.I installed 10.04 and have installed WINE (which i'm still trying to figure out how to work).

I plan on getting a newer/larger hard drive.
My music file is about 10gb, all lossless,cd quality
The dvd`s I have are memorex 4.7gb 16x
Can I Just drag each file over to cd-dvd creator and burn it, or do I have to open each file first?
I read that transferring music can cause a loss of quality. Is this true?

I have no idea what to do to copy settings for programs, etc. to a new install of Ubuntu so that I don't have to do it all over again. When 10.10 releases, I would like to upgrade with a fresh install because upgrades sometimes bug out. Which folders do I copy/What is the best method of doing this?

With transfering files and folders across from windows xp to lovely ubuntu 10.10 without the need for any usb sticks or anything. I installed Linux via the installer which is found in the ISO image whilst still in windows.
I used Winzip to open the ISO image and found the installer for installing whilst in windows xp so it installed it on the same partition as xp.
