Thank you for your help, my fstab as follows:


Two things I've learn with my tinkering with ubuntu last night was;
1) How to edit the fstab file
2) I'm unable to change the ownership of any of the files in a Fat16/32 partition as it doesn't contain any ownership info and it assigns it's ownership upon mounting the drive.

But tonight I have another problem that I need help with.

I'm having trouble with my sharing of folders across the network specifically between my ubuntu box and my macbook.
By using the Shares-admin, I'm able to place certain folders on my network which are easily seen on the macbook. The problem is that although I can delete files from said network drive, I cannot write to it.
The second thing that bugs me is that my shared folders on my macbook are unable to be seen by my ubuntu box.
Can someone suggest a solution or point me in the right direction?

I humbly bow to you wise and knowledgeable guru's in this forum, especially fastcx.

my windows partition was beyond repair so was my linux.
both booting like snail.
so i thought i just use the recovery cd to recover windows.
then reinstall linux on top.
however GRUB is still persistent after windows recovery.

Can we get the CD for a nominal charges? I'm using dailup at home....

haha bow is not needed, im not dead yet anyway, perhaps u can try the code i posted for mediaone mount point. as for mac-linux sharing, im not an expert in this, but perhaps with adding in user in the options space in fstab for the device might help. cause your issue seems related to write protection/user privilege.

another thing, there is no need to type in "iocharset=utf8", just use utf8 will be suffice. refer to the code i posted hope they can solve some of your issues.

we just glad to help, that is what linux about! community!

Cheers!

what recovery cd does is just to restore your hdd image to factory setting, it does not affect MBR. for that, perhaps this can help, give it a try! http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/Sup...ubDiskPage.html if this dont help, post here again, i'll give u another solution, or u can search online as well, its call zero fill

Cheers!

facing some problem setting up SCIM in Hardy, in the "front end" there is this "trigger" option, i wonder wat does tat do? i've actually set some keys with it, but when i press it, there is nothngy happend.
and i've set the pinyin input method in "IMEngine", it actually works, but i cant get rid of d float windows..

a normal format won't fix? 

for the trigger, i suggest u use "next input", its more direct than make it "on" a bit confusing isnt it? hehe
floating windows? can i have a screenshot on that? i didnt use chinese input for a long time

bios? u mean low level format? basically, delete all previous partition table will be suffice. but did u tried windows recovery console?u can use any windows xp installation cd to boot in. when asked whether u wan2 do recovery or install, press "R" for recovery console, once u done that, select your windows installation.

once ur in recovery console, type in fixmbr and confirm your command with Y.

above solution should b able to reinstall mbr for your windows to boot

gotta cari my lanun cds 

hehe good luck on that then ;)if u dont1 to do that, u always can use Super Grub Disk

have u guys tried sabayon/mandrake 2008 powerpack?
feels damn bloated.
my mouse like heavy and slow. 

the word powerpack tells me its bloated linux is about choices, when they give u too much, feels like microsoft isnt it?

well it still isn't as naggy as microsoft.
i had to change my mom's computer from ubuntu to windows xp.
after the change she asked me why this one so difficult to use, so many warnings, always needs update, etc etc.
yeah ubuntu just works without too much nags and warnings.
but unfortunately i couldn't get the AIO printer to work with ubuntu which is why i changed
