Yes :) Indeed :) Despite this I am S glad I've moved to Linux though, it has taken a lot of headache out of somethings that Windows does which i don't like :( Also, I've found the files. I was playing around with Midnight Commander and found that the files were not gone afterall. I had mounted the folder on from the XP machine on the Linux machine using LinNeighborhood. Then moved the files over. They had not appeared on the XP machine. It turns out that a folder was created in the /mnt/XP/ folder and the files moved there! I've now managed to get them over, and I think it's time I sorted out some of the links and file shares across the network. Now a happier bunny.

Re: [newbie] Scream!
Alas. If I could run my games and Ameol on the linux machine I would happily move over. Alas not. I'm feeling better today, a bit more relaxed... Perhaps the caffine is helping me relax more :) Elwyn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
[newbie] Scream!
There are some days I want to scream at this setup! I've got Mandrake 10 and Windows XP They'd both been rebooted recently, and setup the shares again in LinNeighbourhood. Fine. Linux saw the XP drives, so I copied a file over, checked, it was there. So I moved 400mb of documents and some mp3s to go for backing up. The 400mb files didnt make it Linux XP but the other files did ?!! Since tried another copy and it worked fine. Scream! I've had enough. I'm going to bed... And I'm going to deprive these machiens of power tonight as punishment. As it is even now Kontact locks the machine up when running spam assassin to capture 1/4 of the spam coming in. Thanks G** I don't work with computers for a living!!! Elwyn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
