In all honesty, you will stand a better chance of saving your friends 38 GiB
of music by using an Ubuntu Live CD (or similar) than you will with a Win XP
disc. Personally I would boot the machine from the live CD and then copy the
data off to a safe media. Then you can re-install Windows once

Hi All
Does anyone know how I can check the "CFLAGS" settings in Ubuntu (10.4 x64).
I have a need to run an application that depends on these settings to
optimise speed but have found that Ubuntu has no "make.conf" file which is
where I would normally expect to find/tweak these settings.

I have been taking a look at "afflib" using Ubuntu 7.10 as part of a digital

device, and later mount the image obtained using another p

Just a couple of thoughts that may help you out.
I would seriously consider trying the 32 bit installation. It will work well
with the 64 bit chip but you won't (or shouldn't ) experience as many driver
issues. Bear in mind that 64 bit support, even in the MS world is still on the

Have a poke around for hidden ".trash" folders, particularly on mounted media

creating these on such volumes and they do not appear to get emptied by the

Ah, I see. In that case I have to defer to those who have experience of

So, just to clarify things:
Your computer currently has XP installed as its only operating system and that
is on an "ide" connected hard drive.
You also have a CD drive, also connected via an "ide" connection?
You have an SATA drive that you want to introduce to the machine to run Ubuntu
from?

Forgive me if I am way off on this as I have joined the thread half way through.
From what I understand you have an SATA drive with XP on it and a CD drive
attached via IDE. And you want to connect a PATA (ide) hard drive to the
machine to put Ubuntu on as dual boot?
