I have two harddrives. I will install on the first one ubuntu and on the other one opensuse or I will even put them together. I dont know yet.
Has somebody experiences with booting two harddrives, how can I choose between them? And when I delete one with gparted, will the free memory be automatically placed to the not deleted harddrive?

so here's what i want to do. I have a harddrive with Ubuntu 10.04 on it, the biggest partition is a 242gb ext3 partition. I want to format a part of that to FAT, without loosing any data from the hard drive.Is this possible?

Is there anyway to dualboot with two harddrives. For example, have windows 7 professional on one and ubuntu 10.10 on the other and use the grub boot menu and also encrypt the harddrives?

I have been trying to get Gparted to work so I can rename my harddrives, but it doesn't want to work. (What a surprise!) So I decided it might be easier to simply install virtualbox and rename the harddrives through the virtual Windows system. The only problem is that Virtualbox won't recognize the harddrives, so I can't bloody well rename them!
In the past, I have used dd to replace (as well as overwrite) hard drives.
If you do a direct clone of a drive, you are supposed to make sure the target drive is the same size as the source drive.
It is quite important that I am able to clone a failing drive (250GB), however, my only other drive available is a completely new 1TB external hard drive from a different manufacturer.
Is it still possible for me to safely clone the failing drive? If yes, how would I go about doing this? Make a 250GB partition on the 1TB drive?
If I use the TB drive as a "temporary backup", and once I have copied over with dd burn everything directly to DVDs, and then restore the TB drive to it's original state, will this be able to be done?
I got Lucid Lynx and i want to partition the drive into two harddrives when i install, like with windows i would have my harddrive made into C and D and i would have windows on the C and all my movies and stuff on D. I saw some things about making the rest of your space to store files in the /home files but i when i log into ubuntu after installing it shows the /home folder inside the disk. I dont know if it makes sense but, i was wondering if u can have it the way windows does it so it looks like two harddives and which options to select when i'm paraitioning. i really want to change over to ubuntu i just wanna work this out first cause i dont know so much yet haha.

If it can't be deleted, can it at least be disabled so that I don't have to look at the cd icon every time I plug in the hd?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi Have two Hard-drives a WD 500Gb Sata with windows 7 installed and an IDE Maxtor 40Gb mounted as slave .I want Ubuntu to be installed on the Maxtor.I usually used to choose grub to be installed on the MBR of the first one , but that meant that every time i needed to reinstall windows or Ubuntu i Would loose both of them, how to do so, without effecting the boot loader of the windows but still capable of booting both.Story made short, if i disconnect any of the hard drives i would still be capable of booting into the other.

how I can fix this or how I can investigate this issue further? The harddrives are okay, they work as expected with the board's sata ports.
I've been trying to install Fedora to my new computer. However the thing is that Fedora can not find my hard drive it's as if I don't have any. They are not even under /dev/ . So I assumed that Fedora was at the wrong here and tried to install OpenSuse. However OpenSuse had the same problem. No existing drives!! I tried starting the kernel with no AHCI but didn't work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently in process of remodeling my home file server and would like some advice. The server has two internal hard drives that are rather small (10-15G) and I've now ordered a larger 2 TB drive which for the time being will have to run as an external drive through USB 1 (going to be rather slow).
I'm probably going to put the OS and swap on one of the internal drives but I was wondering if there was a good option for increasing the system's performance by making the second internal drive act as a kind of buffer for the 2TB usb drive. I'd like both the advantages of the large size of the USB drive and the fast read/write speed of the internal drive. Would it be possible to put it together so all reads and writes to the fileserver would first go to the fast internal drive (or even better, to internal drive and USB drive at once, although I suppose RAID is not an option with USB attached storage), and would then be put to the large drive. It would also be nice if the most used files from the large USB drive would be cached on the internal drive for fast read speed. I understood that ZFS would help me accomplish something the like but as I understand, it's not that easily available on Linux.
The current plan is to make the large drive a simple XFS drive and build a small daemon on the server that would simply move all new files from the internal drive to the USB one, once they are not used but it would be nice to have a more low level solution.
I have Ubuntu and Windows on the same machine. If I install Thunderbird on both operating systems is it possible that both installs can access the same email files so that all of my emails will be in one file no matter which operating system was running when emails are downloaded or sent?

I am volunteering to assist a non-profit org with their technology, I will be presenting Ubuntu to the teachers this week and I hope to have a positive response to using Ubuntu!ith that said, the org being a bilingual school we will most likely focus on using Edubuntu. While I personally use Ubuntu and have installed it over the years on multiple laptops & deskptops, I am now facing the task of installing and maintaining on a dozen laptops and another dozen deskptops!While the install is very straight forward, installing on so many systems will be very time consuming! In addition, we would like to install additional apps such as Skype, Dropbox, French Language support, Possibly Ailurus and a few other apps.
I am looking for suggestions how to best handle this? What would be the best method to automate the install across the systems?Could the best approach be to install Edubuntu and all the apps we require on one system and then create an image from the "master system" to be used for the other systems?It seems that creating a master image would be ideal as it would include everything we need but I have never done that before
