Re: [BLUG] Mounting a Linux drive in Windows

There is always a live CD. I have used live CDs to copy things to/from problem systems for years. The Windows-based access is nice, but if it uses an unusual partition table (or something other than ext[23]) a live CD may be easiest/fastest.

Cheers,
Steven Black

[BLUG] Mounting a Linux drive in Windows

Hi,

I had a Buffalo Linkstation NAS die on me.  It is linux based.

I believe it was the NAS device itself that died and that the hard drive is still OK.  I still spins up fine and show up as a ATA/ATAPI drive when plugged in via a USB cable to a Windows box.  I just can't figure out for the life of me how to access the drive via Windows so I can copy the files off of it.

Any ideas on what I need to do or a shop where I could take the drive in Bloomington to have the stuff pulled off would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kelly

[BLUG] Totally off topic -- need a connection

This is going to be off the wall, and may be considered illegal,
immoral, and fattening, but here goes...

My wife runs a United Way charity that caters to the disabled, aged, and
infirm. One of her clients is a middle aged lady that has become
homebound due to various medical conditions. I've kept her machines
running for several years, including upgrading or replacing them as
needed or when new hardware falls into my lap.

She has had a dialup connection for several years that she was given by
an acquaintance. I have no idea where it's dialing into. I suspect it's
dialing into a company server of some sort, which then gives her access
to the WWW. It's nothing more than a username, password, and phone
number. This connection stopped working two months ago. Her acquaintance
is no longer in town. And she is really bummed. The WWW was her window
to the world, and it's been closed to her.

I'm hoping that somehow, some way, one of you good people that might be
affiliated in an IT capacity with IU or Ivy Tech or Cook or whatever
might be willing/able to provide her with account credentials that she
could use to dial into a server and gain access to the WWW. There's
nothing it it for me. All I'll do is set up the DUN for her and turn
her loose. She doesn't need an email account or anything other than a
connection. It would make all the difference in the world to her. It may
be hard for some of us to believe, but yes there are people out there
that after food, rent, utilities, and especially medication, can't
afford a $10 dialup account. But this gal is one of them.

If you would be willing to respond, you can contact me off-list at
mhwarner@gmail.com, or phone me at 360-7252 (cell).

[BLUG] Equipment for sale at Restore

Hi all,

Apologies if this is an unwanted list intrusion. A friend at the
Habitat for Humanity Restore office just informed me that they
received a donation of some computer equipment that they want to sell.
Since they don't usually get customers there looking for geekware
they asked me for help in alerting the right people and I thought that
there might be a few BLUG users who would be interested. The only
information I have is that they received a "Panduit server rack and
some peripherals such as a 48 port switch, tape drives, etc." They
are asking ~$200 for everything. I'm sure if you call or head over
there they can give you more specifics.
