With but one partition left to convert from NTFS to ext3, thisone had to be the difficult one. It's my old C: partition from which I used to boot Windows. Three times now, with cp and tar, it has hung somewhere in the Documents and Settings directory and nothing brings it back.
I got nothin'. :(
Give cpio a shot?
What's your tar command?
There are Strange Things in various Windows directories that are a royal pain in the arse to copy for whatever reason. It's like they have locks or something, Windows system file-esque, that don't necessarily live in the root of c:. I've worked around this in the past painstakingly figuring out what can and can't be copied and scripting as I went.
It wasn't pretty.
Will.
