Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3193386 By: nobody I use Windows XP Home normally (yeah, laugh it up), but recently one of my drivers decided it wasn't going to work anymore. I have a very easy way of fixing it, but it would require renaming and deleting some system files, but because of the driver, Windows XP won't even start. Due to some sloppy repartitioning, MS-DOS won't recognize my drives as... well... drives. I had been considering installing Linux, so I set aside about 4 gigs of unallocated space on my hard disk before this whole thing happened. Tech support reps tell me I should just use the recovery CD to wipe my hard drive, but I kinda want to keep my data. So, as a last resort, I installed Linux even though I haven't read up on how to use it _at all_, but my knowledge of absolutely random stuff helped me pull off a successful install of the Slackware distribution. I've already mounted my C:\ drive, and I'm looking at the files I want changed right now using that "ls" doohickey. I get this error, though: "rm: cannot remove [file]: Read-only file system" ...and my friend tells me that writing to NTFS from Linux can get complicated and that I should Google it. Please help! I'll make you brownies... ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
