OK Just checking because I tried this before with two different Hard Drives and they both ended up with bad sectors shortly after plugging them into my laptop with Ubuntu installed on them.

Hey guys, I am wanting to install Ubuntu to an External HDD and I would like to take that External HDD between more than one computer using Ubuntu on each. Is something like that possible?

That's interesting but I don't see where it helps with my issue. I'll look into sed further anyway. Thanks again.

OK will do thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to automatically sort MP3 files into folders (Artist/Album) using the information programmed into the tags of the file.

I'm currently going through some...

Hey guys, I know that there is a nice little launcher that will run the script for Grub to select a menu option upon shutdown for a reboot...

OK so I have spent the entire night doing something that should be really simple... Of course as with anything I try to do on my own, I can't seem to get anywhere.

I'm attempting to install and...

I got it working. Thanks for the help. I used DriverMax and it worked fine.

No not exactly. I'm looking for a way to see what my exact drivers are so I can download the ones I need in Windows.

Here is the...

Thank you very much. I replaced the line and it worked perfectly. As for the cannot mount error on bootup you mentioned I may be getting, I haven't encountered to date. If I do I will see if I can't...

Wow thanks for the quick reply. I'll go and switch back over to Ubuntu and update Grub. As for the not having a sda6 (which makes sense lol), should I remove that line from fstab? Or is that possible...

Haha yes I should have mentioned that I'm running Grub 2. If you still need the contents of the 40_custom file after you look at the contents of the results file from the script, I will post it here.

Hey guys I'm sorry for the really late reply lol. I just now got a chance to run that script. Here is the output:


Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010 ...

OK I'll run it when I get home from work. I hope we can figure it out lol. For now I just removed the line in the 40_custom file and updated Grub. That at least lets me boot back into Windows.

Hi again. Sorry for the really late reply. I wanted to say that I was able to get back in. What I did was when it would give me the option to boot into an OS, I would press E for edit and then remove...
