[ubuntu-uk] Bug #1 and onwards....

[alan c]

Yesterday I spent time with someone who was interested in using
Ubuntu. The Live CD ran well in her laptop. However, the live session
disc utility showed some errors, numerically apparently quite a lot. I
discussed her considering a new drive, but anyway helped her back up
some files.....

She later had contact with her son who connected remotely and

'could not find any significant problems and made the comment "your
HDD is formatted as NTFS the drivers in UBUNTU have only been around a
short time. Basically a Microsoft file format. that has been reverse
engineered". So he feels I should just do a full back-up at the moment
and he will keep checking the hard drive. So that is what I shall do'

I do not know whether to laugh or cry.

(originally I attempted to post and share this on my Google+  but
failed to share with Ubuntu UK Team)
