I thought I'd post here as well so that any Linux bods who only read here could help me. I have a problem with a hard disk in a Huma Fosat HDR and I want to put it onto my eternal hard drive adaptor and then try to read (and hopefully fix!) it with my laptop. What software would I need on the laptop to read the disk? The full story is here Foxsat HDR siezing problem | ||

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Thanks for those ideas. I've just come back from a weekend away (been down near to your area Llew!) and I've got some things to do so it'll probably be tomorrow evening before I have a chance. | ||

| Just by chance I was given a faulty PC from work last week, and it has a Linux o/s on both drives. On boot up it says 'Community 10.1' and then freezes. Is this a modern system or one that should be upgraded, if so, what to ? | ||

It seems to be booting with the latest official Mandrake version of linux which is 10.1 however a quick google reveals that others are having problems with hardware compatability with this version, a downgrade to 9.2 or 10 may help | |||

| Thanks, the last person that had the lid off upgraded the processor on the motherboard, which may be behind the start up issue. | ||
