Thread: File Moving Permissions in Ubuntu 7.04 Live


hello,

i'm using ubuntu 7.04 on live boot right can move files hard drive on computer won't boot. work computer, contains 3 years worth of accounting , inventory information absolutely must recover drive.

computer runs 1 sata drive, , has no ports additional drives. otherwise have 2 usb drives connected , ide connected through usb adapter. (the sata drive not work through adapter reason). have absolutely no access computer sata support.

drives mount on 7.04, , can view files on sata drive - leads me believe drive isn't dead. i'm hoping move files need on 1 of usb drives.

however, i'm getting flags when move files. -without- installing linux, there way me grant myself permissions move/copy/delete files on hard drives?

otherwise, there simple way (that won't compromise data on drive) me re-do partitions sata drive can install linux?

hi panramos, try:

code:
gksu nautilus
this launch file browser root priviledges (very dangerous... careful!) can copy files external drive backup.

ubuntu 7.04 old (almost 3 years) , unsupported; have tried using current version (9.10)? maybe has better sata support.

whatever do, don't install linux, modify partitions, or other irrecoverable action until have backup copy of 3 years of hard work. luck!
