Very .... Very carefully

Operations system is Ubuntu 8.04

swap area -- 2GB
/home -- 40GB
/ -- 18 GB

Correct ?

Depends on what you are going to do with the machine. If you simply want to play around it is cool. Or you can just

Swap --- 2GB
/ --- 58GB

If you are actually going to store files under a user profile it is advisable to keep it as you had since you don't want to impede upn the OS's space.

Ok i Finnish install Ubuntu 8.04. it look great,

I can remember Ubuntu 7.04 can mount the NTFS Drive.

Why can't i mount the NTFS Drive on Ubuntu 8.04 ?

You can.

Did you shut down the PC in windows properly or did it have a "dirty" shutdown?

No i remove my windows. My other drives is all my backups , software , music, work and all that stuffs.

No no, i', not asking if you still have windows installed, i'm asking if you shut it down properly the last time you used it

root@r33p3r-desktop:/home/r33p3r# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Master\040Drive\0402 -o force
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0)
WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile.
fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Master040Drive0402: No such file or directory

root@r33p3r-desktop:/home/r33p3r#


It told me You are not privileged to mount the volume 'Master Drive 2'

Yeah i did a dirty shutdown with windows. I have an idea.

I shutdown my computer and wake up the next day. Now it work fine!! No problem.

I got to System > Administration > Synaptic package manager
and search for NTFS and install package NTFS Configurations Tool.

Now it work fine.

Remeber to install the NTFS-3G package too.

Ok another questions.

How i setup a dual boot with Windows and Linux ?

I have Ubuntu linux on my PC. Now on Friday, i want to setup WIndows Vista .

SO how to....

[SBSP]

When Vista boots it load the Ms bootloader from MBR then loads the Ms boot menu.
Its easier to install MS first then linux as linux wil dedetct ms.

You can try using nero and create a boot CD then choose to load the boot file from the ubuntu CD
its a file called SBM. Then boot that CD (SBM = Simple boot manager)


Or use winrawrite and write the image file to floppy and boot from the floppy.

I'm not sure if you can use the SBM to configure the boot, I think it does.
