who needs Linux? me! A little tale about David Vs Goliath (first - sorry for my limited english) 2 weeks ago, I had a job of saving the content of 2 HD from an old dismantled PC that nobody used or cared for years. I took out both HD and put one in a HD USB container box, hoping I could read it through my XP HOME Dell desktop. XP did his thing when I plugged in the USB box but then... no drive letter assigned, nothing. I tried the same thing on my XP PRO laptop: same negative result. I tried the second hd: niet! I tried some more stuff with the hd jumpers, still noting. Finally I thought why not try to plug the hd container box in my ubuntu eeepc... well, i should have done that first: I could see the content of both hd no problem and transfer it through my home network. Why did it not work on XP? Why did it work with Ubuntu? I just don't know... but the main thing is that I could get the job done.
