Does the file extension end in .exe or .msi?

What I would do is copy all the data off the drive, and then create encrypted partitions with LUKS (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto3). I've done it and it works great. ...

Holy crap dude, its called a "period." Anyways, my douchiness aside, what does your grub configuration look like? If you are using grub2 you could try update-grub (or is it update-grub2?). If this...

Why not just install ubuntu and then create the Raid? Seems like less hassle (I doubt the quoted method would work. It might, but it might not)

Raid 10 requires a minimum four drives. You're only feeding it two.

Have you manually tried to mount md0 (mount /dev/md0p1 /media/some_folder)?

what does your fstab look like?


Edit:
Did you create a partition on the raid? (the p1). Fdisk says there is no...

I forgot to add, only plug the drive directly in when the computer is OFF!

I can try. Inside the enclosure is a SATA (or if its really old an IDE) hard drive. I'll assume your drive is SATA (SATA being the type of connection or plug that the drive has on it). So if you...

[10466.081381] Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 120

Sounds like the drive died. You said that this drive also fails on windows? If it fails on another computer, it is for sure dead....

USB3 is backwards compatible. Shouldn't be an issue

Ok, your computer does see the external encloser. strange it doesn't see it as a drive though (something is very wrong). what is the output of dmesg if you unplug the drive, and plug it back in?

No worries dude! :)

As for the drive, something is very amiss. Your system isn't seeing it at all. What is the output of lsusb?

While I agree the more details the better, there is a thing called tact.

Anyways, with the drive plugged in, what are the results of

sudo fdisk -l

and


lsusb

I can't recommend K9copy enough. I've also used dvd-rip and its ok.

that is very clever. Doing it in samba (as far as I understand) only creates a security hole if you have admins who do stupid things. If you (or an admin) creates a sym link to dangerous areas yes...

You might be able to use testdisk to restore that partition. I'd boot off a live cd, install testdisk and cross your fingers

First off, you can't build your own netbook. Nobody supplies parts for doing that. As for the GUI, I'd go with gnome 3.

I know this thread is old, but have you tried to delete your .wine directory?

shred -zuv always does right by me

can you show me the output of /etc/resolv.conf?

Is it still doing that right now? Does it do it in any other browser?

I'd say yes for one reason. Its not your computer. I know where I store all my important stuff on my machines (home folder or my docs in windows). However the owner could have things stored else...

If there was a comment rating system here, I'd upvote this twice.

Also seawolf, if you find that link for restoring the windows mbr through linux that would be extremely useful to me.

One "risk free" way I can think of is to install ubuntu on an external drive. that way grub and the new OS go there, and leave the main windows drive untouched. If you boot off the new drive, grub...

This is correct.
