Humm... All seems well. When you open your file manager, does it show on the left? If so, clan you click it from there and mount it? If not, let's make sure it's not corrupted somehow. First make sure it's recognized again by lsblk as sdb1. If so, run: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt Then run: ls -la /mnt...

Humm...
A Gigabit NIC will transfer 1000 Mbits/sec. Yours look pretty close to me.

I prefer ether

Without the usb plugged in, run: lsusb then plug it in and run: lsusb Comparing the two, does plugging in the usb change the output? If not, then it's hardware troubles. If it does, then the device was recognized, so, next run: (With and without the drive plugged in) sudo lsblk If the usb is recogni...

Hi

Give Open Media Vault a look. I use it in a few different locations.

FreeNAS is a good choice too, but I prefer to use it only on commercial LANs

My dog uses Windows NT and hates the vacuum cleaner. The wife, however, uses Mint and seems very happy. But... Yesterday I got in trouble because I block all Facebook IPs on one of my firewalls. Today, the Wall Street Journal gave me redemption on the frount page, top story: Apps Send Sensitive User...

I have used devede. It does the job.

Yup, depending on the make, the BIOS can be nettlesom.

Also, be sure Windows itself is not constraining the machine to secure boot.

Warn your friend... administering a spouse's computer can be a treacherous task.

I always use nvidia GPUs. I have never been unhappy.

Hi,

It'll take a while. Don't give up yet.

Or you could dd the media to a file named w10.iso and attach it as a cd storage device.

Hi, Not a question. The expression is just an inequality: GiB is not the same as Gb. There's a calculation we do because different applications use different units for expressing size. It's confusing because the abbreviations for the two units are very similar: GiB for one and GB for the other. You ...

Great!

Looks like there is an 8 G swap

GiB != Gb
230 + 8 = 238GiB = 250Gb

PS: you are using a different filesystem than I.

I have run into that problem. The number given by the install was no longer available. At the time I was able to hunt down an alternate number ((888) 571-2048). Does that no longer work?


I am glad I have these dinosaurs in VMs.

Your new SDD is a 250 G drive. lsblk and gparted show that you have a formatted partition that fills the drive: 238.46 GiB = 256 Gigabytes ~ 250 Gb. My question is, what is in the used space? If all the files originally occupied 20 Gb and now the files occupy 111 Gb... what is the identity of the ad...

PS: It'll show as Graphical Disk Map in the Accessories menu.
When it starts, choose to scan the entire filesystem.

Well, I would say that, rather than losing the space, you are for some reason occupying more space.

Have a look at gdmap (sudo apt install gdmap). Does that reveal any files are present that were not present in the original 20 Gb?

The tech support industry must be having a field day handling Windows 8 and 10 issues. Yup, lot's of overtime. I have been moving our staff to VMs running full screen on Linux whenever possible. They are resistant at first but eventually they get it. Now, when something goes wrong, they can blame t...

It appears to be entirely allocated now.

what is the output of lsblk?
