(linux subject again) im ready to resize windows , can i ?

i tryed the second code in the bin directory. i've restarted my machine to see the result that was: nothing. my cd still need to be mounted and when i try to mount it , it won't let me! the progression bar is still at 0% righ now , and it run for now 3 minutes. :-( my cdrom drives are damned.

edit: an error message finally showed, it's better than nothing. it said:

the last words are in frech, but if i do a quick translation, it reads like this:

??

 

I think that means it doesn't recognize the file system... try

"mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"

 

nothing happened too. i decided to look at the fstab file:

Code:

/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda10 /mnt/windows ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda9 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

there's nothing i could write (and/or erase and/or change) to make them (finally) work?

the bizzare thing in this is that i can actually read music cds (but i can't view what's inside them)

tired. :-(

 

Its already mentioned on fstab:

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

which means that hdc is your first cdrom and hdd is the second..

Try mounting as root..using sudo mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
I'm not sure because I'm not using Linux right now but since it is already specified on fstab, you could simply try

mount /mnt/cdrom or mount /mnt/cdrom2

Even if you already have resized, you could have used those Livecds, like Knoppix and Mandrake Livecd(can't remember the exact name).

 

O and for the swap size issue, the general rule is twice the size of your ram. So I have 256mb ram and my swap is 512

Question why use mandrake ? ...just a personal preference since i have tried so many but a debian distro just seems so much better ....and add the apt-get feature and I cant see any other competing

Ok this new job is really draing me, hope i made sence there :smt1069

 

nah, it doesn't work!
here's what i get:

Code:

/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: périphérique de type bloc/dev/hdd est protégé en écriture, on le monte en lecture seulement
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: /dev/hdd: ne peut lire le super bloc
[root@localhost central]#

translated now ( :smt043 ) :

Code:

/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: bloc type periferal /dev/hdd is write protected , we mount it in reading only
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: /dev/hdd: can't read the super bloc
[root@localhost central]#

the only cd im able to read is unreal tournament 2003 on hdd (not hdc), don't ask me why, can't tell. i can't install it though, because when they ask  to switch the cd, i open my cdrom and... it doesn't move, it won't close and if i push it back, it just won't read... like if there's no power, it happen like that sudently, no reason why. hdc never did this , but i can't mount it. 

:-(

so, in my need of fps on linux (tried ut 2003, you know the story. tried quake 3, don't want to mount.) , i downloaded enemy territory, when i open it (after the install) , it restart my pc.


oh well, guess i'm damned.. :smt009

Hope it helps. Try changing auto on the hdd line to iso9660, which is the usual.

 

well Doom 1 and 2 are availble on linux too if i remember right.
