Issues I'm having with XP and Red Hat I got everything setup as needed yesterday, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my seemingly new Windows box. However, I can't get at my data. My data is on my old hard drive and I can't seem to get Windows to recognize it as needed, though it works great as the primary disk. I've posted a question with my issue on experts-exchange.com, so hopefully I'll have it fixed soon enough.

My second issue is very minor. I'm adding a 2nd hard drive to my Red Hat 9 machine, and I'm curious to know where you Linux gurus mount a 2nd hard drive? I currently have it mounted as an NTFS drive at /mnt/windows, thanks to the Linux-NTFS Project. But now I want to format it as a Linux filesystem and share it via Samba.

My third issue is a little wierd. I have Samba setup and running, but I can't login to any of the shared directories. The username/password dialog just keeps prompting me (from my Windows machines). I could probably figure out the problem if I spent more than 10 minutes looking for an answer - but alas, I have not.

Windows is running super fast though, and that makes me happy. Posted in General at Jul 13 2003, 09:19:53 PM MDT 6 Comments
