Linux/Windows
LockedI’ve recently had a server failure on my HP Netserver Pro. It turned out to be a fault with the on-board graphics which I switched off and put in a graphics card.
The problem was that I then couldn’t boot Windows 2K AS and couldn’t install it either. It stoppped every time when it got to “checking hardware” at the start of the install.
So, getting really fed up with the hassle of waiting for it to boot after every change I made, I decided to try Linux, I chose Mandrake and it installed with no problems at all!
I now have a functioning server but still can’t get access to the first partition which is where the MS based files (Docs etc) are being held.
Can anyone help me (totally new to Linux) access the files either from the server (Linux is on the second partition and I can’t see it anywhere in Linux) or from my PC or other server?
I liked the way Linux installed where MS just stood there looking thick!
