External Harddrives

[amaresu]

I have a Seagate external harddrive and I haven't been able to access the data on it since I switched to Ubuntu. I was wondering if there was anyway to access this information or if I'm better off just getting a new external. And if I do have to get a new external can I buy any brand?

Tail is a constant process, darl. It stops when you CTRL-C it.

Well, that's good to know.



AND IT WORKED! IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED!

It's been quite a while since I've had access to this stuff. I had a defective harddrive and was more concerned about getting that replaced before anything else. You have no idea how happy I am right now.

If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

Thank you so much.

Tail is a way to keep track of updates to files in real time - the file/command updates, and tail lets you know :)

I'm so glad it worked!

Let me know when/if you want to upgrade, as I'd be quite happy to walk you through it :D

There is so much to learn, but the people are so very nice.

When I feel up to upgrading I will definitely let you know. You get the awesome award.

Oh, I forgot to link to a page I meant to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB

It lists commands and useful info for mounting USB devices in general.

And you keep giving me stuff. XD
