Since this is a USB standalone 2TB drive how do I load testdisk from the command line so it sees the usb drive?

BTW
Thanks for your prompt and courteous response.

Accidentally started an erase disk (Startup Disk Creator), for about 15 sec on my 2TB when I actually meant to pick the 2GB USB flash drive,when I realised I had picked the wrong drive, I stopped it but now all the folders at the root are a mixture of letters, numbers and strange characters. Is ther...

How can I upgrade KDE 4.3.5 to 4.4 in Linux Mint 8 KDE 64 bit.

-Rick

I am running the 32 bit Mint 8 KDE now, with a separate root and a separate home partition. My question is, can I install the 64 bit version of Mint 8 KDE and just format the root partition and leave the home partition alone. Will there be anything left over in the home partition that will cause pro...

Assuming you have the 64 bit version of Mint Helena and you go to Synaptic to download some apps, do you get the 32 bit version or 64 bit version if there is one. The reason I ask is, a friend of mine has opensuse 64 bit and when he downloads apps it show that 64 bit apps are being downloaded. So I ...

Thanks Boo for the insight. I know how busy you guys are, so I will just patiently wait for that moment.
Thanks again.

Just out of curiosity, will there ever be a KDE 4.3 64 bit?
I tried out a couple of live cd's and really like KDE 4.3, but would like to stay with Mint.
Right now my OS is Mint Gloria 64 and I am really loving it.
Anyway just curious, and keep up the good work guys whether for Mint or KDE.

Just to let everyone know, I went ahead and reinstalled mint 7 using the X_64 Gnome version, then found and installed the 3 .deb files for kernel 2.6.30 and installed, rebooted and have been happy ever since. Have been on the new kernel and X_64 for about 10 days now and no problems. This is on an H...

Ok, I tried but it really messed up my system, so reinstalling 4.2.4 and will wait until the 4.3 version comes out.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I have installed Mint 7 (32 bit) (kernel 2.6.28) on my HP (DV6626US) laptop. Everything is working just great and I am wondering how safe is it to install the new 2.6.30 kernel?
Would there be any repercussions I should be aware of?

BTW - Great distro and many cudos to the Mint team.

Thanks to all who answered. I think I will give it a try, and if it breaks, well lessons learned and all that.

Does anyone know if the newer kernel 2.6.30 will work with newly released Mint 7 KDE 4.2.4.
Thanks in advanced for any and all comments.

I am definitely a newbie and would like to know how to properly partition my 250 GB hard drive. I have a HP desktop which has Mint 7 on it now, but I let the installer create the default partitions. I have 3GB ram and, it is a 64bit Intel chip, but would just like to know the proper step by step ins...
