    How to rescue files on Windows D-drive? My computer: Acer Aspire T3 715 desktop

    Thank you! Mr. LukeTbk, how about re-install MX Linux? The reasons I am thinking about a re-install are: 1. I am a common PC user and a newbie to Linux. Very difficult for me to understand the Linux terms and phrases. Even more difficult for me to operate Linux apps. 2. I have the entire copy...

    How to rescue files on Windows D-drive? My computer: Acer Aspire T3 715 desktop

    Thanks. This is what I have found: 1. Linux has disabled all Windows boot settings in BIOS. 2. Kinux has moved Windows desktop from its original location to /home in Linux. The folder of /home will be removed if Linux is disconnected. There will be no desktop even if Windows were booted. 3. If...

    Thank you. "there is NO partition table of any kind on the 1TB drive (this is your original D drive in Windows, I believe?)" Yes. You are right. "make image copies of all your drives" Where to make the image copies? In MX Linux, there is no such image. The Windows D-drive is /home in MX Linux...

    Is this HDD usable (benchmark)?

    Thank you. The HDD is now mounted on a USB external hard drive case. Used as an external hard drive. A few weeks ago, I installed Linux Mint 21 Xfce on it. It was connected to SATA cables on motherboard. Ran a few time, but then it would not boot. Does the benchmark reveal anything why is...

    Is this HDD usable (benchmark)?

    Thank you. The HDD was originally on Acer Aspire M5700 running Windows Vista. I replaced Vista with Windows 7 and used it until Windows 10. I kept this HDD and threw everything else of that PC away. Slow? It does not matter much since it is going to be a store and backup disk. Thanks. DiaNo
