Installing on an external Hard drive.

If it does not work, come back to me.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:05 AM

But I hope it does if you did the partitioning right.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:12 AM

Should work! (Smile)

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:15 AM

Also come back if successful: I want and need to know.
(Sigh)

I have no idea how, but I am one poor unlucky bastard. I am typing this on my psp right now, because I decided to try rebooting due to errors Iwas getting. Now I can no longer boot from the live cd. it gives me an i/o error on sda(the dead internal HD )

, and wont boot.

Will your computer boot without the cd. Try that.
Also try booting WITH the cd but WITHOUT the external drive.

Let me know.
I hope you can receive this.

If not one of the previous: you are indeed one unlucky guy.

killpotts · 03-09-2009, 02:32 AM

can you see my last post ? I am on my psp now and Icant see the last posts. basically something horrible happened and I can no longer even boot from the live cd.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:32 AM

BUT, we will get passed that.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:35 AM

If we should loose contact, you have my e-mail address and you can also use msm or pidgin or something like it.

In any other case, you can still use the telephone.

My telephone is 0032 15 336 395

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:36 AM

Belgium.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:38 AM

If money is an issue, I'll call you if you send me your telephone number.

killpotts · 03-09-2009, 02:46 AM

You must be very curious about this problem, eh ?

Well anyways, I am NOT a poor unlucky bastard anymore. It seems Ubuntu managed to boot ( from the live CD, I still have not got it installed. ) I will try again soon. I am back on the live cd from the PSP.

bert07 · 03-09-2009, 02:49 AM

Okay. That's good.
And indeed, I'm curious and also eager to know what the problem is.
I hope we can both solve it.

Here I can get it to work on an external drive.

Trying to solve problems, for others as well as for my self is one of the things I do.
I'm a beta tester for many a distro and program.
Not that I am "that" smart myself.
