Q. I'm a Windows XP user trying to switch to Ubuntu linux for no other reason than to feed my geeky hunger. I don't really play any computer games, so my main concern is how am I supposed to access my gigs of music on my Windows folder from Ubuntu? I only have 2 hard drives (if possible to work on Windows hard drive then great), no jump drives or CDs. Thanks for whatever answers. :)
A. first what type of filesystem on these partitions
look first under places > removable media
if they are there then click on it
it will be mounted to system when you do that
the linux system needs any driver to be attached (mounted ) to it's tree in order to deal with it
if they are not there
then open the terminal (accessories > terminal )
which is a shell emulator (command line interface )
then make the points you want to attach the filesystem to it
"sudo mkdir /media/My1"
where My1 is the name of the mount point to which you will attach your partition
be careful that linux is case sensitive
My_Folder is not thw same as my_folder
then
"sudo mount -t [ntfs,vfat] /dev/sd[a,b..1,2,3..] /media/My1"
you have to choose the filesystem type (vfat or ntfs )
which hard drive sda or sdb
which partition 1,2,3...
if you got an error and the filesystem type is right it will be mostly because of unclean shutdown
if you don't know the dev available
type
"ls /dev/ | grep sd"
good luck

How do I power off / shut down a linux computer?
Q. In windows one simply shuts the computer down and it turns off. How do you do this in linux? So far I have just issued a reboot command and then powered it off after it beeped, but now I want to shut it down remotely. Thank you
How to shutdown now gracefully. Previous power off attempts have not turned off the computer totally.

A. sudo shutdown -hP now
How can I force mount my external HDD in Fedora 10 Linux?
Q. The command line suggested in the error windows doesn't work, and I don't want to have to start Windows just to mount a bloody external. It frustrates me that Linux can't just ignore the fact that there was an unclean shutdown. Windows can handle it, why can't Linux???
A. Could you explain what happens when you try the command line suggested in the error window?
If we knew specifically what the error messages were and the details of what you are trying to do we could help.
If some error messages are ignored and the drive is mounted anyway the problems could become much worse and all data permanently lost.
Good luck
