Ubuntu :: Converting To FAT32 And Mounting?
Feb 20, 2011I have a 500GB Hard Drive NTFS format that is full of movies and pictures. I want to convert it to FAT32 and connect to XBOX 360.
I have GMount and have been doing test with a smaller 4GB flash drive. The drive was NTFS I was able to format it to a FAT32 no problem. Was not able to mount it in ubuntu so that I could actually add files to it . Ubuntu knows that the 4GB is their but will not let me open or mount it.
So can you change a hard drive to a FAT32 and still write to it from in Ubuntu if so how?

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Fat32 Vs NTFS For Shared Partition
Jun 19, 2010I dual boot, in the process of installing Windows 7 & Fedora 13 on a new drive. Back in the day when it was risky for the newbie to read/write NTFS, I created a "shared" FAT32 partition. Even though the later Fedoras could read/write NTFS fresh out of the box, I have kept the "shared" partition for my important files (email, documents, digital camera pics).
Now that I'm installing Win7 and Fedora 13 on a new hard drive and I'm partitioning my disk, I'm scratching my head trying to decide how I should format this partition. I was considering the FAT32 again, but I'd like 50GB, not just 32. At the same time, I'm thinking of making the size sacrifice because, and maybe this is just carryover from the olden days and groundless, I have an irrational worry about using NTFS for my most important files.Maybe someone could assuage my fears. Is it just as safe, at this point, for files to be on a NTFS partition and run under Fedora as they are under FAT32?

Mar 15, 2011I have 2 drives mirrored via windows software raid and I plan to toss the drives into an Ubuntu server soon where they will also be mirrored. The server will have another drive for booting. What is the best way to get these mirrored drives into ext format while preserving my data? I plan to use software raid in Ubuntu as well. My only idea is to format a 3rd drive as ext and copy all the files over, seems inefficient though.

Feb 23, 2011breaking a software RAID 1 disk array so I can remove one of the drives permanently. I've found a couple suggestions to make the drive 'forget' that it is a RAID drive by "zeroing out their md superblocks", but I don't know enough about superblocks to know if this is destructive or not. I used this guide to create my RAID-1 and it is working fine. This is my current setup:
Code:
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]

Jul 16, 2010Reproducible with Firefox 3.6.6 (installed from Ubuntu 10.04 repository), on Dell D620, Ubuntu 10.04 Steps to reproduce:
1) start Firefox from command line "firefox -P"
2) create new Firefox profile on NTFS volume (mounted with NTFS-3g)
3) add NoScript extension (through extension manager Get Add-ons), restart Firefox as suggested
4) extension is not added to Firefox In case at step 2) profile is created on Linux volume, at 4) extension is added to firefox.I'm not 100% sure, but I think this bug is related to Firefox 3.6 update (no problems with Firefox 3.5). I did not make proper investigation, but I have feeling same problem applies to Thunderbird 3.1.This issue does not allow to share Firefox/Thunderbird profile on dual boot machine (Ubuntu/WindowsXP).

Code:
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
