Ubuntu :: PYSDM Doesn't Show Windows Partition?

Aug 31, 2010

I want to auto mount my ntfs partition using pysdm. However, it does not see it. When I do an fdisk -l it shows up. I can access the partition through my home folder... it just doesn't show up in pysdm. I have already tried to reinstall the program.

General :: Windows 7 Disk Management Utility Doesn't Show Disk With Ext3 Partition

Oct 10, 2010

I have a 2 TB disk in an external SATA dock, formatted with a single ext3 (Linux) partition, which doesn't show up in the Windows 7 Computer Management->Disk Management utility, even as a raw/blank disk. I've verified that there's nothing wrong with the disk by connecting it to my Linux machine and mounting it, and I've verified that the dock is functioning properly by connecting a different FAT32-formatted disk, which mounts flawlessly as expected.I realize that I can't actually read the ext3 partition without additional software (e.g., Ext3IFS), but why doesn't the disk show up at all? Is there some sort of stupid anti-Linux filter built in? Is there any way to force Windows to recognize the disk, so that I can at the very least use direct block access with it?

Background: I want to clone an identical 2 TB disk onto this one. Due to my hardware layout, it's much easier to have the source disk attached to one machine and the destination disk connected to another, and do the clone over the network (the network is not a bottleneck with switched gigabit ethernet), than it is to hook them both up to one machine.(1) I did this once before when both machines were running Linux, but I've since upgraded the destination machine and decided to switch back to Windows for regular desktop use. I've got Cygwin installed, and have verified that the same basic method (dd + nc) will work, but I can't do anything if Windows doesn't even consider the destination disk to exist.I only have one eSATA port on each machine. Opening them up just to do this clone is a rather large annoyance. Also, since this is my backup disk, I'd like to eventually automate the cloning from the active disk to another one that I regularly swap with a third disk that I store off-site.

Ubuntu Networking :: Cant Add Rw Permissions To Fat Partition Using Pysdm?

Jun 20, 2010

Im trying to share a fat partition using samba. The sharing thing is not a problem thanks to samba which works perfectly.The problem is with the partition Im willing to share over my network. Everytime I reboot my machine, I have to go to Places and lect the Fat drive.I have read that I have to modify the fstab file to make it automontable. For this I have used pysdm to admin the fat partition and make it automontable. It works fine but Im unable to give write permisions to everyone to write over this drive. Even my user when using ubuntu has no write permisions on this drive.These are the comand Im using for pysdm

$sudo pysdm
And these are the params Im setting in fstab file with pysdm:
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 vfat umask=777,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0
Ubuntu wont mount the drive with this settings, only with "defaults"

Debian :: Unrecognized Partition - Doesn't Show The Right Name

Aug 7, 2010

I reinstalled Debian today, and changed partition tables. Now I have 4 partitions, 3 of which are encrypted, including / (root). Everything was fine at first, but now, instead of the partition label I've chosen, I see this: 120 GB Unrecognized Everything works fine, I just don't understand what this is all about.

EDIT 1:I don't understand something else too, which might be related. First time, I didn't need to enter root password for things like Synaptic and so, is this somehow related? (Now I'm being asked for, like normal way)

EDIT 2: I know the label is ROOT, I used e2label. But it still doesn't show the right name...

Ubuntu :: GRUB Doesn't Show Windows 7?

Aug 15, 2010

I have a new netbook - "Eee PC 1005PE-PU27-BK" and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04, Kernel Linux 2.6.32-24-generic. I love Ubuntu, but I also want to be able to access Windows 7 if I can. I've read some on GRUB, but the menu on startup isn't showing my Windows 7 instance. I've tried reinstalling GRUB, but when I run sudo update-grub, I still get this:

Code:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
done

I know that Windows 7 is still on the system, I just can't access it.

Ubuntu :: Windows 7 Doesn't Show Up In GRUB2?

Apr 9, 2011

So, as the title says Windows 7 doesn't show up in GRUB2's selection menu, but it does show my Windows XP professional option that I had before Linux and then reinstalled. After searching very long for the problem in Linux and GRUB2 I decided to boot into XP, witch gave me the option for Windows 7 or older versions of Windows -> so I eventually can boot to it! So here is the real question: How can I make an entry for Windows 7 and for Windows XP? This is because I'd like to use a theme for GRUB and it would be to stupid to make GRUB look nice if I then come to a stupid screen of the Windows loader!

Ubuntu :: Windows Doesn't Show Up On GRUB / Solution For This?

Dec 4, 2010

I just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 (I was running it wubi but various issues prompted me to install it in a separate partition) and now windows isn't an option in the GRUB. I have windows Vista on /dev/sda2 and I can see it on GParted.

I tried looking through some of the other posts, but I think that I need some direct help with this one. I have tried update-grub and nothing changed.

I don't use Windows often, but it is nice to have the option.

All this is running on a Toshiba Saellite A215

Ubuntu :: Resizing The Partition Doesn't Allow Windows Vista To Boot Up - Denied Access

Oct 31, 2010

When I run out of space on my Ubuntu partition, which will probably happen with me being the untidy person I am, is there a way to resize the partition in Windows or Ubuntu that will allow the other to boot? As I've heard stories of using Gparted to resize a Windows partition doesn't allow Windows Vista to boot up as it removes a crucial part of the operating system? I have adequate space to give to Ubuntu on my NTFS partition. May I also add that to install Ubuntu I had to use the partitioner that came with the installer, because the Windows Disk Manager wouldn't let me partition the NTFS drive, because it Denied my Access.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Doesn't Recognize Windows 7 Partition - 10.10 Maverick User?

Dec 23, 2010

I recently have installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Netbook Edition in my personal netbook. The thing is that I had installed Windows 7 in the hard disk drive so I decided to install Ubuntu alongside with it. After the process of installation everything was cool but I hadn't the Grub working. I then pressed the Shift button during the booting process so I got the Grub menu but it didn't show the Windows 7 partition. The Windows installation was not erased because its file system is present in Nautilus. I have tried reinstalling the Grub a thousand times but nothing changes. I have attached the results of the boot info script so you can have some info about my booting configuration.

Ubuntu :: Installing With Windows Vista - Doesn't Give The Option For Resizing Partition

Dec 31, 2010

Does Ubuntu 10.10 allow you to resize your windows partition and install ubuntu on the resized partition? I'm trying to get ubuntu installed on my laptop but the only option it's giving me is to delete all partitions and install ubuntu. I don't want to delete any partitions because I have backups on my second partition and the first partition has windows on it and I would like to keep it.

I've tried 10.04 and it doesn't give the option for resizing but I thought that one of the versions gives he option for this, is it 10.10? I've tried to manually resize but it won't let me because I have to many primary partitions, so I would have to delete the last partition to get it changed to extended correct?

Debian :: Squeeze Grub Doesn't Detect Windows Partition On Install?

Sep 7, 2010

I've installed Lenny with no problem, but I tried switching to Squeeze, and grub for some reason didn't pick up on the Windows partition this time - it just shows the two Linux options (debian and debian single-user). I check the menu.lst file (which I've edited under Lenny with no issues), but for some reason it doesn't exist at all in this install. Is it in a different location with Squeeze maybe?

why grub didn't pick up on my Windows install?

Ubuntu Installation :: Resizing Windows Partition - Install Files On A Non Windows NTFS Partition

Jul 22, 2010

Now however its not letting me resize the Windows partition, mounted or unmounted. It currently occupies the whole disk. I would rather not reinstall the whole thing over again, but I will if I have to. Isnt there an easy way to shrink a Windows partition? I swear Ive done this before and it wasnt this hard. Could it be a problem with the Mint installer that now asks me if I want to unmount my disks before it goes into install mode? On this PC I would like to have

Windows XP
Mint
Ubuntu-Studio
Edubuntu
One of the E17 OSs
Puppy Linux (to create a remix)

I am probably going to put most of the linux partitions on the second laptop drive but I want to install files on a non WIndows NTFS partition.

Ubuntu :: Finding Windows Partition - Use FAT32 Partition For Photo Images And Old Windows Files

I got tired of dual booting on my old computer so on the new computer I am planning to run XP on VMware Player. The problem is that on the new computer neither Ubuntu or XP can "see" the FAT32 partition. I intend to use the FAT32 partition for photo images and old Windows files and need access from both Ubintu and XP.

Partition table entries are not in disk order.

Ubuntu :: 9.04 Won't Boot After PySDM Installation?

Feb 1, 2010

Running 9.04 on an Intel PC, for the last year about.

Installed PySDM today in order to mount an external USB hard drive. Told the PySDM Assistant to mount the drive on reboot, and to allow any user to mount it, per the tutorial instructions.

Rebooted as tutorial instructs.

And my PC won't reboot. Hangs with an unable to mount error.

I can boot the PC off an Ubuntu 9.10 CD, and see my data, but cannot uninstall PySDM (which I assume is the immediate fix).

How do I get this PySDM off my PC so I can boot it up as usual and rescue my data?
