Yes, that seems to be the case, I'm not particularly acquainted with how Linux works, I ask for advice here when I have some problem. So, can anything be done, is there a way to copy those files?

I'm gonna need further assistance on what exactly to write, Zorin is based on Ubuntu so I'm sure there wouldn't be any problems with more detailed advice. I understand permissions generally but I...

Hello

I would like to copy files via Live DVD to my mobile device but it doesn't allow me to nor can I open them. The four with the x sign. With the last two on the right I have no problems with,...

Being a PC user requires dealing with multiple intricacies, the number of which would be enough to fill a dozen of books. To help with this...

What I want is to install Windows on this SSD to see if the problems I'm having currently with Linux, not only with this flavor, will show up again. I'm assuming no because I already have a drive...

It has only sda1 which you can see in my first post and no, I don't have anything of importance on the system, I've installed it a few days ago.

I guess I don't understand why would I leave a part...

This is what I did, as Seiji suggested above:




mint@mint:~$ sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda

Found a dos partition table in /dev/sda
Proceed anyway? (y,N)

I've managed to solve the keyboard not working during the boot part. Immediately at the start of boot I pressed Delete to enter setup, chose "Integrated Peripherals", then marked "USB Keyboard...

The keyboard part, although important, is not the main focus of this thread, rather it is how to delete Linux using fdisk. I have already copied the point on terminal I came to so I'm asking for...

Like I said above. I am unable to start a Windows installation from CD. When booting it says to press any key to boot from CD but I can't do that, my keyboard is unresponsive during the boot process....

How do you delete linux? I came to this point:

I wrote this a week ago but there wasn't a response so I'm writing you a reminder.

This is what showed up today.

Hello

I assume this isn't a Linux system problem per se, it's probably a hardware problem but I use Linux Zorin 12.4 which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 so I'm posting here. Yesterday when booting I...

Thank you, you have spent a few hours with me on this, I appreciate your help very much. I still am not sure what is it about the DVDs not reading but because we managed to check the system, I'll...

There it is.

First, yes, second, I don' t know the answer, you're gonna have to help me how to check that.

I do not use 250 GB disk, it's from a computer with Windows installed. I wanted to ask is there anything I should do before using it on Linux to make it compatible with but we can deal with that...

Here are the screenshots you said you can't see, I am going to to the suggested now.

Thank you everyone for your help. What I did is I started the system via bootable DVD, I use Linux Zorin 12.4 Lite, and wrote a few commands in the Terminal the result of which is down below. It has...

I don't know how to run a file check from a Live USB or DVD nor how to make one. Can you spell out the steps for me, I'm far from an expert in Linux?

My system wouldn't read a few DVDs so I tried to check the file system for errors but it wouldn't unmount. After that, I forced it to check and got this message:

I want to thank everyone here, especially yeti for the extra effort put in this. I will try to do this by myself, if I succeed I will post an update.
