Ubuntu :: Recover Ext4 After Wrongly Converting It To Ntfs

Jun 29, 2011

i wanted to change the format of my backup drive from ext4 to ntfs. what i thought would be possible without erasing the data, was simply done by formating the drive. but because this took only 6 sec, i have still hope that my data was not completely destroyed. are there any possibilities that i get my data back? i unmounted the drive afterwards and did not write anything to it.

General :: Recover Data From Repartitioned EXT4 Filesystem

Aug 5, 2011

On my drive I had 2 partitions for an Ubuntu 9.04 (swap, /) and one partition for Windows. I figured out that I should upgrade my Ubuntu, so I deleted the "/" partition and in its place created 2 new partitions (/, /home) .

After installing the latest Ubuntu 11.04, I realised that although I had backuped everything I needed in a 2nd disk and I could access those folders and their data from my Ubuntu 9.04, both my Windows and the 11.04 can locate neither the folders nor the data now. I have no idea why this happened (perhaps some issue with the mounting?) I have tried the trial version of Stellar Phoenix linux data recovery tool, but it cannot locate the old partitions.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Format To Ext4

Aug 6, 2010

i recently bought a new pair of rams, after i installed them (removed the old ones) ubuntu started lagging and all my applications started normaly, after half a minute they didn't respond for 2 minutes and then back to normal again. So i decided to delete the ubuntu partition and re-install ubuntu. I begin the installation normaly but it stucks at 5% where the partitioning takes place.

I also tried gparted to create an ext3 and ext4 partitions but i had the same problem on both tries. I believe it is a ram problem, should i go and replace them, or there is a possible solution without replacing them? (Also run the memtest 86+ for 4 hours and there were no errors).

General :: Recover Files From Ext4 File System Overwritten By New Installation

Jul 3, 2011

My main hard disk died and I replaced it. After installing windows in a small partition in /dev/sda, I thought I will try linux mint and went for it. (I need windows to play AOE, but ubuntu is my primary OS)I didnt see the options properly or some distraction, I choose the "install alongside windows" option probably expecting it to install it in the unallocated partition next to the windows installation. I had completely forgotten my second internal drive /dev/sdb which has the backup data. Linux mint went and installed itself on that drive.

Is there a way to recover individual files from the second harddrive. Now if I boot or open it through live cd, all I see in the linux mint file systems. I want to aleast recover my CV/resume from the second drive. The second drive is a single ext4 file system The old drive is completely dead, it doesnt even get recognized when I attach it to SATA.

Fedora :: Format To Use - Ext3 - Ext4 - XFS - For My SSD ?

May 25, 2010

I'm currently using Ubuntu, but just ordered a new SSD (64GB) & plan to install Fedora on it- but just have a few questions...

- What is Fedora's position on MONO & MoonLight?

- I will be leaving /home on my 600+ BGB HDD, but root, /usr & swap will be on my SSD- will there be any potential issues?

- What format should I use (Ext3, Ext4, XFS...) for my SSD?

- Any recommendation of rpm repo's I should add?

- Will FGLRX work with FC13 or FC12

Hardware :: Format External Hdd As Ext4 Without Losing Data?

Jan 10, 2010

I have a 300 external usb drive which I have got when using windows and so is using a fat32 filesystem. I have since moved to linux only and am mounting the drive as vfat however I think I may as well convert it to ext4 if possible for (amongst others) performance and security reasons. The problem is I don't have a separate drive which would hold the 250gb of data temporarily whilst I changed the filesystem of the drive so I am hoping there is a way to format as ext4 whilst retaining the files?I know partition magic on windows allowed you to change between filesystems whilst keeping the data but does anything similar (and free! ) exist for linux?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Ffmpeg / Mtv Format - Error "Unable To Find A Suitable Output Format For Output.mtv"

Jan 22, 2011

I'm still trying to find out if my coby mp3 player will actually play mtv video files as is advertised.

ffmpeg -formats does list mtv but the only command I really ever used was one to convert a vid to an mp3 so I tried Code: ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -acodec copy output.mtv it returns Code: Unable to find a suitable output format for 'output.mtv' I can't find any mtv files online for purchase or free for that matter, so I know this is all pretty obscure but shouldn't there be a way to convert them since ffmpeg lists mtv format?
