Hello guys, I'm not new to the community, but I'm not over here very often, hehe...
Well, here's the deal:
I recently bought an External USB HD (specifically a Maxtor One Touch 4 ) which works good on Windows XP and Vista, but when I tried to copy files in Kubuntu I found a problem.
It is recognized by the OS, I can mount it and explore the filesystem. But I cannot see files that have accents or other special characters on their names.
For example:
When the drive is connected to windows you can see the file Soñé.txt
In Kubuntu it doesn't appear at all.
Folders are the same, in this case a folder called Zoé will not show on my USB HD when its mounted on Kubuntu.
Out of curiosity I tried copying files with strange characters from my Kubuntu filesystem to the USB HD. Example Zoé - Miel.mp3
But it just didn't work, it send an error.
This has never happened before, I have lots of files with those characters on their names because I live in México, and since I work in a company, I'm supposed to have every file name with perfect orthography (and look, even México has an accent on it's name...)
If anyone can help with that, it would be appreciated, since I don't want to go to Windows Vista just to copy those kind of files....
