my guess is you are having bad blocks on ntfs partition.
You can use badblocks to check that particular partition.
Or you can try use ntfsfix to try fix it.

QUOTE(horphi @ Oct 6 2007, 07:57 PM) could it possible your harddrive's problem ? Well, i don't think so. The drive is quite new. It's only a few months old. Besides, I have Vista and XP installed on it and so far I do not run into any problems while running the two OSes. QUOTE(oshiri @ Oct 6 2007, 09:36 PM) my guess is you are having bad blocks on ntfs partition. I have read about badblocks and ntfsfix. Since there's a risk in losing data when performing the check, I know it is better for me to back up. But, for now, I do not have the resources to backup. Thus, I will keep you guys updated when I get myself a new hard drive to store the backups and continue on with the checks. Thanks for your help anyway.You can use badblocks to check that particular partition. Or you can try use ntfsfix to try fix it. **Backup first** |

Tention :
Grub failed to install would mean that you boot sector is blocked, probably by your BIOS. Check in your BIOS settings. Sometimes there is a "Virus protection" option that does this. mystical zero : Since your HD works in Windows, then maybe its because of NTFS-3G. Did you mess with the fstabs file? |

Vmware-Ubuntu Internet Sharing Problem.
In Xp, I was using PPPoE dialer to connect Streamyx and LAN with static IP. In Vmware, I choose DHCP and Bridge but seem like Ubuntu couldn't obtain any IP. and what is VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 and VMware Network Adapter VMnet8? do I need any configuration on both protocol? |

By default, VMNet0 is for bridged mode, VMNet1 is for host only, VMNet8 is for NAT. Unless you want to change the IP addresses, there's no need to change any configuration on these virtual adapters. Did you try VMWare on NAT mode? It should work. |

Anyone here uses SAMBA for file sharing among housemates/units/friends?
I have uBuntu installed, and i reckon i've also installed Samba (following the steps according to what's been discussed this past 30 pages). Problem lies in, setting everything up using the terminal, and accessing the home folder of the designed server from other users. We've got a wireless router, and the server with uBuntu (samba) is a P3. The unit im living in has 7 other notebook, 2 macs. Anyone with experience of installation able to guide me on how to "share" the files, doesn't seemed to work at the moment |

Or, you can disable ioapic in your BIOS if the BIOS supports it. If it hangs as well, we would need to look deeper. |
