Not sure about usb hard drives, but I have a couple of thumb drives that I have setup for booting the 'live cd' software.

I've also experienced thunderbird delete e-mail issues with a Yahoo mail account. I'd say that it started about 6mo ago or so. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

R. Something else you might want to look into before you spend too much more time with XP, the LGO agency that you are wanting to work with, after April, will they allow you to connect using an XP...

Don't feel bad. I VM'd my 2 xp machines at home, and at work I have still have my old xp workstation on-line because of an older HP plotter and Ideal b-print scanner that are not Win7 compatible, nor...

Another tid bit to roll around in the back of your mind.

A can't say as I have an answer to fix your power issues, I have noticed the same issues with my laptop as well when using Ubuntu.
It comes down to the laptop maker designed the power managment...

Lucky for me I don't have a target within 50 miles to shop at.......

Since no one else has asked yet..... what version Windows and Unbuntu.

How old is the card. They don't last forever, the more you write to them the shorter their life. Way less than a hard disk.
My opinion----just replace it. It's only $12 from Amazon.........

+1 Agree with using what suits your needs.
I'm learning Ubuntu, but I know at this point I cannot leave Windows 100% behind. I have at least 2 programs that absolutely will not reliably run on a...

I wouldn't think it should matter for a hot-spot device as it's just creating a generic "wifi" zone. Any wifi device should be able to connect to it.
Now for a usb stick connection, that's...

So why not just ditch Yahoo........I dumped them as my primary e-mail host a couple of years ago and haven't looked back.

Is this machine in a Virtbox as a guest? or is it a host?
I see error entries for virtual box in with the other errors too.

With Win7 you can have 'write caching' enabled that will cause file transfer to appear to be faster than it actually is. That can put you at risk of data loss if you disconnect the flash drive before...

Ok I have to ask.... I gather you are a working with a Mac? Is the USB port active? can you see anything else plugged into it? are there other ports on the machine to try.

1st thing I would look for is make sure in your bios settings that the specific SATA port is enabled. Not all motherboards have all SATA ports enabled by default.

After you have the SATA port...

By chance have you tried to format the usb drive on a different computer.

Time for a new usb drive? It is Christmas time afterall......Merry Christmas.

Sounds like you have quite a bit running. How much ram do you have and how much have you committed to your VirtualBox environment.

What is the hard disk interface of the desktop.
Look into a external usb hard disk "carriage" to install the desktop HD, for the purpose of transferring the data. Then you can re-install the disk...

Are you booting/running the OS completely from the external drive?

For fat32 the command would be

mkfs –t vfat <USB-device-mount-point>

Don't forget you may need sudo with it.

There are other options in this article

Looks similar to the issues I had trying to re-format one of my usb sticks a while back. It wouldn't format thru anything GUI.
I ended up getting it done thur the mkfs command in a terminal window....

The F5 button will also do a refresh.....

What type of file is the image you are trying to mount. Is it a VMWare or Vbox image? or something else.
Do you have the individual partition information?
