The second hassle.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was interstate, I bought a couple of 500GB Western Digital HDs. These are now the ones which have 11.2 installed on them, and they are working fine... with a possible qualification.
The qualification is that I installed XP SP2 to start with, before installing oS 11.2, and created my "usual" ntfs partitions on both HDs. No drama here.
However, I also have an external 500GB Maxtor USB drive - factory formatted in ntfs- which I use for backing-up files both from both Linux and 'old' installation/s of XP (residing on other set/s of HDs).
Home or Pro? I know someone who had a quite similar problem and it turned out to be permission/ownership in Windows.
Pro. I had a gut feeling that this is where the problem may lie and I will now have a close look at what I set up during the installation. Many thanks for your response.
