forgot to add that the computer will be able to triple boot linux, xp and mac..  what im looking for i guess is a nice filesystem that the three can share with no troubles

Installation issues / file systems

« on: December 21, 2007, 03:55:53 pm »

i've searched through the boards but cannot find a "yes" answer i need before messing with stuff...

i currently have a 275gb hardrive with all of my media on it formated in hfs+ which linux will not read.  im setting up a new computer to act as a core and need to convert this file system.  i can read/write hfs+ through windows using macdrive and copy to a new harddrive to ntfs.  from there what would i be better off doing..  use linux to convert and move the files to ext3 or will 0710 have good enough support for ntfs to leave the files there??  concidering the time involved to move 250gb of information across different file systems id prefer not to go hfs+ - ntfs - etx3 and then ext3 to the hard drive i want it o. plus the time involved to swap OS's


(harddrive avialible to work with are 400gb sata (to be library) 275gb ide (current hfs+ library) 20gb ide (for OS))

Installation issues / nvidia driver install problems

« on: May 23, 2007, 06:01:22 pm »

i have a nvidia ge5200 256mb card vga and dvi out.  when i upgrade to the nvidia restricted driver and reboot the tv (vizio 50"plasma) wont rea the signal and i have to hook up an old crt screen in order to see anything..  after booted up i can switch cables over to the tv and show the screen but only in the vga..  the dvi doesnt work..  however when going into nvidia settings it does detect the model of th screen.  ive tried using other programs for upgrading the driver with the same result..  after the install i can never seem to get the xserver to work right again and end up reinstalling ubuntu again and again. i am now using 7.04 still with no luck..  ive tried adding and editing the xorg with no luck.  any ideas??
