I booted my corrupted Windows PC using a Live Ubuntu Linux CD. When I tried to copy the files to my USB drive?

Question

I wasnt' allowed and It said I dont' have permissions... HELP

Answer 1

Try unplugging the drive and plugging it back in. That usually works because the USB drive gets automatically remounted with you as owner and not root. I don't know if sudo is password protected in Ubuntu, but you can try opening a terminal and typing:

sudo nautilus

and that will open the file browser with root privileges if there is no password for root. If it needs a password, try "root" or just press enter. If you have trouble with this, you can also try Knoppix Linux (although I guess it would be hard for you to download in the situation you're in). Email me if you still have problems and I'll try to get back to you. Good luck!

Answer 2

you've 2 alternatives - you may deploy the 2d OS onto yet another complicated force and then connect the complicated force on your laptop, or partition (chop up) your complicated force and deploy Ubuntu onto the different partition. There are a lot of classes on the information superhighway that ought to tutor you.

Answer 3
