Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

command action

Yes, always a space between the command and the action.

Are you able to boot, select the recovery mode, and get to the command line? That's what you need to do before you can perform the actions I outlined.

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

This is going to require a Live CD and a working CD ROM drive to fix.

The procedure (after booting a Live CD) will be to mount the Linux partition and restore the /etc/fstab file that was last backed up. Then it should boot up same as it did the last time it worked correctly.

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

Maybe a permission problem. You can open Konqueror as root by doing Alt-F2 and entering

kdesu konqueror

Then browse to your media, and right-click on the drive. Choose "properties" then "permissions" and if it says "root" you can change it to "helen1" (your user name).

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

How to change?

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

Something happend.I unplaged flash and put it back and it works.

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

Cool -- don't you love a system that fixes itself?



In your screen shot, it looks like you were running konqueror as a user, so you cannot change the permission of a "root" ownership. But, if you opened konqueror in root mode (using "kdesu"), then you would see that you could change those permissions of "owner" and "group".

Re: problem with ntfs&fat32 partitions

I typed kdesu konqueror,but I couldnt change.But now everything is OK.

Now you ARE living dangerously!

First, does your drive show up in your BIOS? Linux gets the device information from BIOS, so that is important to know.

BIOS detected drive.Why dangerously?

Re: problem with ntfs&amp;fat32 partitions

In this context "living dangerously" means there is a good chance of things going wrong. I shouldn't use American slang on an international forum .... sorry.

SATA is a relatively recent arrival in Linux, even though it's a well-established device interface in the Windows world. In the last year there have been some issues with the Linux drivers -- if you Google "libata" you can learn a lot about it.

Probably you need to go into your BIOS and where it shows the SATA devices, you should have a "mode" setting, and there you might want to change it to "legacy IDE" or something like that, if it is available. Here more guidance:

I hope this helps.
