VICTORY!

I'd recommend that program to anyone who has a partitioning mishap.

TestDisk seems like it'll do the job nicely.
I'm not quite sure how to use it but I'll try anyway.

I'd strongly recommend AVG Free as the all in 1 solution to everything.

I can't watch seesaw content no matter what I do and I'm running Maverick on a desktop computer. I don't think the flash plugin for ubuntu is very good.

My media players are at 100% volume.

I tend not to go making applications quieter unless I'm playing a game or something where I need the sound but also want to hear my music. Then I'll reduce the...

Do you have the latest version of flash installed?

The Gparted Live CD does not help. I could repartition the Disk, but there's no indication that I would get to keep the data of the hidden FAT32 partition.

I don't know but you shouldn't be working as root.

Do you refer to an administrator account as opposed to a guest account?

How is this external hard drive connected to your computer?

What format is the drive?

I have a 500GB external hard drive. It originally had 2 partitions,

Maybe Aptitude doesn't have the requisite repository for these packages?

I'm running Maverick, trying to transfer some songs to my Creative Muvo V100 device.

I'd just like to say thanks for this indispensable thread - it's been lifesaving.

I think I've found a workaround:

I don't really understand that thread.

However, I have even more to report:
Having not done anything, ubuntu stops recognising my walkman after a certain time period, the only clue that it is...

Now it says:


chown: cannot access `/dev/sdc1': No such file or directory

Just noticed that the terminal was filled with these messages:

This is a sony walkman I'm referring to. It is mine, I am an administrator but I can't seem to change permissions.

Actually, that terminal command seems to have worked, despite saying no such file or directory.

Thanks for the help

How do I find the path to the directory?

It seems to be /media/ext4 (I called the partition EXT4) but that doesn't work in terminal

You want to stop the password prompt from coming up every time you do something?

Try system > administration > Users and Groups and giving your user administrator priviliges.

Please clarify if...

I have a 500GB iomega portable HD. I used Gparted to split the drive into two partitions, a fat32 of roughly 400GB and an EXT4 partition of roughly 100GB.

On my EXT4 partition, there is a folder...

@ Howefield: Brilliant, thanks.

Windows XP and Ubuntu dual booting I am.

I inexplicably kill threads in the help section.

It's a curse.
