I have a dvd that was made as a back up using ISO 9660 and windows reports that the disc isnt formatted and is empty but linux will report the it's an ISO and has 0mb free. access the files on this disc?
View 9 RepliesI 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 am trying to install a harddisk, which is already formatted as ext3, into my Qnap NAS box. The web interface of the NAS box shows, that the harddrive has been detected, but I am not able to mount any of its partitions.This is the output from fdisk -l:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders

I've looked everywhere and haven't found someone with a similar problem or even a hint to how to fix it or what's even going on.I'm trying to mount the Sims 3 raw ISO so I can install the game with PlayOnLinux. Every program or method I've used to mount it seems to mount it successfully. My problem is, that when I go to open the mounted ISO image, the folder is empty and nothing comes up. Even when I go to rightclick > Properties,it displays the contents as nothing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a netbook running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and I would like a USB flash drive to be automatically mounted whenever I plug it in. The drive is FAT formatted. It mounts when I plug it in but all files are only writable by my user, other users only have read access. I understand that I need to add a corresponding entry to the /etc/fstab file. I've added the following so far:/dev/sdb1 /mnt/USB_DRIVE vfat
Firstly, is that appropriate so far? I've created /mnt/USB_DRIVE as root. Next, I'm not sure what options I should be finishing the line with, especially to get all users to be able to write to the drive.
I have a large RAID array of 12 TB attached to one of my Ubuntu server machines. The RAID volume is formatted with NTFS. The problem is that I can not mount this volume in Ubuntu. I can read it normally if I attach it to windows machine.This is the output from "sudo fdisk -l":

I have WINE installed and need to mount some disc image files, I posted in general help because this is just relating to the mounting.

I have recovered a whole dying hard drive using the command ddrescue, only 8192 byte out of 4.3 gigabyte are unreadable.I have used the command (gnu) ddrescue /dev/sdb DiskImage.img..But unfortunatly this way i have a full-disk image that is not mountable... ( or at least i don't know how to mount it ), and the disk doesn't seem to work anymore that good... ( crack crack crack... ).To see the partitions inside the "big" file, i have used fdisk -l, and damn there is only one partition, but how can i mount the content???
I know i could use photorec foremost or similar software, but since the disc image is almost perfect, i would be able to preserve file names, paths and dates...The last idea would be to mount it as a full-drive image with Virtualbox... But transferring data would be quite annoying.
How to edit a ISO 9660 file? I have one which I created using livecd-creator. Now I want to edit some of the files in it and save the changes. I have searched the guides and solutions for something and perhaps I overlooked it but I did not find anything.

I have an Intel Core2 Duo system that is currently running the 32-bit version of Fedora 12. I want to upgrade the system to Fedora 14.I downloaded the DVD installation ISO for Fedora 14, and I used unetbootin on an 8 Gigabytes USB flash drive to created a bootable disk from the installation ISO.
When I boot off the USB drive, the installation process will run. I get to a screen concerning the boot loader. I use GRUB to dual boot the system between a Fedora and Windows 7.What is needed to resolve this issue so the installer can proceed properly and perform the upgrade?
this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.
I'm trying to install files and everytime I manage to install from the first disc I succeed. When I get the the second disc I just keep clicking the "OK" button instead of "Cancel" and it keeps neglecting it.

There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?
I'm sorry for this stupid question, but I have nowhere found it.I need to access to my USB disc from text mode (In Fedora LiveCD I see it and i can access /media/New Volume). In F12 runlevel 3 in mc I see it in /dev/disc/by-label as @Newx20Volume. But I don't know what is the correct path.

I'm getting this error while booting.
Just the last day or so, I've noticed a long pause when I boot my laptop, with lots of disk activity. dmesg says:
[Code]...
Why would there be a 15-second pause (during which the disk is slammed) between mounting root and mounting swap? During this time I see nothing but a blank purple screen, there are no cycling dots or text scroll. Is this normal and I'm just freaking out over nothing because there's no indicator of progress?

I am having permissions errors every time I try to mount a windows host. I have a linux server and all the windows computers can see that computer and its files, but we wanted to start backing up the linux machine to one of our other computers. so I tried to mount one of the computers. here is the sequence of events:
Code:
$mount -t cifs //192.168.1.194/Admin$ /mnt/Anita-comp
password: (I have no password so I left it blank)
Mount error (13): Permission Denied
I tried all sorts of passwords we use around the office and none of them worked.
I then decided to try mounting one of our other computers. this one looked like it worked fine. no error messages at all. (I left password blank) so I look in my filesystem and the mounted drive is not in the /mnt/Anita-comp file. What gives?
While trying to create a bootable SD to install Ubuntu on a netbook, I accidentally formatted a part of a removable HDD that was connected to my computer. If I remember correctly, the partition I formatted wasn't the main partition of the HDD. In that case, does it make sense that the whole disk was wiped out? On that HDD there's a year worth of work, I really need that back.
I was using PhotoRec with some luck: it started to recover files, but with no names, which is almost useless, considering a lot of it are recordings - useless without their names. Is there any good recovery program that will recover all my files incl. names? Is there a easier oprtion, considering that I think I didn't really format the big partition of the HDD? What may it have been, the small partition?
I have an external hard drive which has the mac os filesystem (hfs+) and it is read-only. I was trying things like 'sudo chmod 777 /path/to/my/drive' or 'sudo chmod -R u+w /path' but it wasn't working.
I just want to be able to have write permissions, anyone know how?
I have just installed my first Ubuntu. While installing it, I have checked the box "Install with other OS". The next step was to choose partition where to install Ubuntu. There I checked "whole partition", because I wanted Ubuntu on the same partition where my Win7 was, and I thought that it will save all the data because in previous step I checked that box. However, it didn't saved anything. My hard disk is formatted and I didn't saved any data Is there any way that I can restore my system to previous state, or at least to retrieve some data?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can i detect if my disk is formatted as gpt or mbr?I suppose in principle this could be done by somehow reading a few bytes (no more than say 10K) from the beginning and possibly the end of the disk? But there surely is a program around that does exactly this, maybe some variation of or argument to fdisk or grub?

WARNING: the kernel failed to re-read the partition table on /dev/sda (Device or resource busy). As a result, it may not reflect all of your changes until after reboot.
So the problem is apprarently at kernel level. After that the partition will of course just be shown as "Unknown" - even after a reboot. What kinda app could possibly reserve my partition table?
