I guess that i should have included the fact that I checked the disk through the windows os, in my prior email. Windows stated that the whole disk contained no errors. It runs fine while I have it installed. I put it in the hard drive enclosure, boot the Ubuntu drive, and I continue to get the same error message that I set in the prior message. I guess that I will have to copy every thing that I want off of that drive onto a usb flash drive and then install to the new Ubuntu drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Pitt"
