I read somewhere that in WWII the soldiers used a kind of "hot patches" that used glue to keep the wounds closed while in the battlefield or something like that. Don't really remember, I read that years ago.

@gpa: What is the new HDD's file system? If it's NTFS you'll need to download a package to write files to it. PM me your linux distro's name and version if you want me to help.

Thd drive was partitioned and formated to ex3, I think, used a linux partitioning program. The drive is there, it's partitioned and formatted, I just can't change the permissions to let me write to it, it's read only. I see where I'm supposed to write a line in the fstab file, but it won't let me, says I'm not the owner, another permission thing. I followed the steps in several forums, I get the drive mounted but can't do anything but read. !)!@*&$(*#!)*&$(*&#!)(*$)& Linux!!!!

Well, since this is the crap shooter........
HOLY CRAP!!!!! In case anyone doesn't know, a major 8 lane interstate in Minneapolis, MN collapsed during rushhour tonight into the Mississippi river.......

I used to live in an apartment RIGHT NEXT to that bridge, have driven over it countless times...Thank GOD it's summer and construction season--it was down to 1 lane on each side for resurfacing purposes, so the estimate is only 50 or so cars were on the bridge at the time of collapse instead of 6 times that number.
Unfortunately for my poor frazzled nerves, I first heard about it at work stuck in a c-section....so of course I panic thinking "My brother-in-law drives over that bridge for work!!!" and I couldn't find out if he was or wasn't on it until over 3 hours later!!!!!!
Everyone we know in the Twin Cities is okay...but it's so horrible and so SURREAL to see someplace you know and lived a major disaster...all those people....

Thanks for listening ya'll.

The TV coverage of it looked like a major earthquake hit. last report I saw, six had died and 38 were hospitalized with injuries. Only guardian angels could have kept it to this low a number. There was a bus with nearly 60 children on the brige, none were badly injured. The bridge was built in 1967 and had a complete inspection in 04. They don't know yet why it failed. In a normal day over 140,000 vehicles cross that bridge. I'm sure you can find the story on any news site, I know yahoo has it. Our prayers go out for those affected by this.

As of this morning the offical word I have heard was there are only 4 fatalitys so far, but that 20 people are still missing. I really hope that they find all 20 alive and well.

If anyone wants I can put up a link to a video of the bridge collasping. A security camera near the bridge caught the collaspe on video.

The brand new news is, it was not a terrorist attack.

Here have some pictures.

Scary...!

In a console window: Add a line: Save the file. In a console then type: You can also *try* mounting it manually: Of course I assume you have installed a copy of Ubuntu 7.04, there's no reason going for less.

If it's still read-only after this, the file system is 'unclean' and has to be checked thorougly before it can be mounted. Type 'man fsck' to see the command.

Ubuntu comes with a working Ntfs-3g install "out of the box" so all windows drives are read-write.

Not in my case, it seems. Both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions came without write support in NTFS, they could only read. I have to go into synaptic every time I install and download the ntfs-3g package.

I have the same problem Zera, ntfs is read only. Sakura, are your instructions for an internal drive? My drive shows as /dev/hdb.
