Copying data

As posted before, I wanted to copy data from a removable usb-harddrive to the harddisk for the linux-server. So I connected the USB harddrive to my pc running Ubuntu. At that time something went wrong and I was logged out of Ubuntu and was not able to log on again. I couldn`t really figure out what the problem was. Although I was still able to log onto a terminal-session I could not get it up and running again.

So the only thing left for me was reboot the pc and run Windows. Browsing in some newsgroup I found a solution for my problem. with the tool "fs-driver" (fs-driver.org)I was able to copy the data of the usb harddrive to the ext3 disk.

So now I can finally start working on the linux-server...
