Heh. Mikerms is going to love this. Hah.
Well, earlier in the day I decided fook it I am going to partion out my HDD again to try and do a triple boot and install Kubuntu Linux (I already had RR4 Linux and WinXP). So I went in and started partioning my main HDD and started having problems with it recognizing me putting in 15 GB’s. Well. I aborted installation and warm booted my pc. Just to see it goto a blank screen with a single blinking cursor. I rebooted, hit F2, nothing wrong. Rebooted, saw the same thing. Pressed F8. Saw Windows XP, selected it. Nothing.
So I came online and asked Sufian what to do. Not much I could do but check my settings again. Nothing.
I went back into installing Kubuntu and saw that there was 60 gb’s of HDD space free. I was like… Fuck me blind. Went and just installed Kubuntu. So now I am open source.
The bad part: DVD’s, AVI’s, mp3’s and basically every format of media except pictures and ogg vorbis and FLAC can’t be opened. Also, Kubuntu won’t recognize all my HDD’s. It only recognizes my external and my main. This is sad sad indeed. I can’t even update my iPod.

Those files can’t be played because they have a propietary licence, and can’t be bundled with open source.

I use VLC for video. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It will play anthing and everything.
As for your other harddrives, it probably doesn’t seem them because they don’t have Linux partitions. You will have to mount them with the partition type they have. Kubuntu should have NTFS capabilities.
Oh yeah, Ipod on Linux:

By default, Ubuntu doesn’t have multimedia plugins installed. You’ll need to do that yourself before you can play media files. To make things easier, you should use Automatix, which is a program that automatically installs a lot of necessities and common programs in Ubuntu for you. You can get it from the Ubuntu Forums. You should also have a look around there, it’s a very helpful place.

You’re not the only one today Ampangel. I formatted my computer, and cannot set it up. When I get to the xp setup stage, my screen is blank, but it gets a signal. I am basically locked out of my computer. Good Luck on your machine.
I’ve detected the problem.
“Panic! at the disco”
Corrupting your HDD or something. Whatever it is, “Panic!” are a problem.
