External 2.5" Hard Drive Caddy.

[#1]

Hi! Chillypenguin,
Humbled by such an august correspondent!
Duly dsmeged and got a screen looking rather like your quote.. Don't know how to grab a screenshot or how to quote it back to you in full. Mounting then added some more lines starting with " /dev/sda1 on / type ext3(rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) if that helps. Presumably drive was seen as sda1which might have been found on 2.
Lesson 2 awaited!

you can scrape up the contents of the terminal and copy them to text editor, kate, kwrite, gedit and so on.  you can also save the history to an editor using 'save history as'.

not to sure but on my Linux noddy it cant read to more modern Window NT format, only the older FT, does that apply to all Linux and is that the problem?

That will be your main hardrive, the clue being on `/`.
It looks to me that its not being mounted, so if you can get it `dmesg` would be very helpful.
Try highlighting the `dmesg` and right click, it should give you the option to copy, which can then be pasted.

pierre_pierre, if you're talking about linux being able to read ntfs, it can.  in order to write to ntfs, you need to install ntfs3g and ntfs-config, then run the config in a console.

I was, I only have Noddy Linux on a Asus EeePC dont have much choice with that, but it will read and write all the four cadies that I have (From old Win 95, 98 machines) no mucking about either, just go to the inbuilt explore.  My only reason was that a lot of the Mags say there is a problem with NTFS
