Ok, I don't think it is the hard drive though, because when I used the
Windows XP recovery console, I was able to type in the command "dir"
and it showed everything that should be on my hard drive. But, I
can't use the recovery console to copy files to cds. Do you think
that I could hook up another hard drive???<br>

Hey Tommy:<br><br>> It doesn't show the files from my Windows installation. Just cdrom and<br>> some<br>> Ubuntu stuff.<br><br>I just booted my Warty Live CD on this XP box and got access to my hda1 (ie.<br>XP hard drive) by clicking Computer, Disks, and then right clicking hda1 to
<br>mount it. Admittedly, the files were "owned" by root but for transferring<br>files that hurdle can be easily overcome via sudo (or some such).<br>Sounds like you have a more severe problem, though. If the LiveCD didn't
<br>recognize the hard drive is it possible that the drive is pooched?<br><br>Maybe yanking the drive out and putting it into your Ubuntu machine IS the<br>better idea. That way you can watch the messages during bootup to see if the
<br>Ubuntu machine recognizes the drive.<br><br>Rob<br><br>P.S. We're both off list here. Let's get the conversation back on list!<br><br></blockquote></div><br>
