I used Ubuntu to copy the application Data for Tbird and fireFox as well as my download folder so if the lappy cant be fixed they can send me the old drive in a caddy and I will then have a portable 500 gig backup which I am sure that I will forget to use
Thanks for the help guys. I plugged it into my big computer and the drive is fine. I have copied my digicam stuff and some other downloads onto a spare partition. I cant copy the My Documents folder because it points to the C drive on my gaming rig. Might give Ubuntu another go and do it that way. Does FireFox/Thunderbird keep anything in other folders? I have copied Mozilla from program data.
Thanks for the feedback I realised that linux didnt work because its 32 bit so I am downloading a 64 bit iso and will try that. my other laptop sees the drive but as its 32 bit xp it wont work it did see the drive as a 500gig samsung so I am hopefull.
It looks like an insurance claim. I hoped that I could recover the data off it by using a SATA-USB adapter The drive spins up but windows wants to format it and Ubuntu cant see it. Ubuntu can se a usb stick but fails to see the drive. .Any ideas? or am I stuffed
I have to agree that I wasnt aware that the French Air Force shot the crap out of the Luftwaffles allowing the RAF to get a draw (according to StearnJeager on the Banana forum) but lets not go there
May get in touch with Bomber Command and offer the tickets to some of the vets who cant get tickets. Then all the Dogz can be together and make some old men happy
I have a PCI Audigy 2 so its very old I have since moved over to the on board sound as I was having problems with mixing game sounds on the Creative and TS on the on board.
