Use to write ubuntu (any any distrobution) to a usb drive, then boot from it.Īfter that you can simply mount your usb3.0 linux partition and copy the files.Īs a bonus you now have portable ubuntu on a usb drive, use it anywhere. Just to be clear you're saying to setup a USB drive as a linux boot partition and once I boot from that, then mount my other PC drives as well as the other USB linux hdd and then transfer what ever I need from that drive to my windows PC drive(s)? None-the-less, thanks for your suggestion. Isn't that what forums like this are for? I'm not familiar with this kind of stuff. My expertise lies more on the hardware side of PC's.
I figured the people who frequent the linux section of these forums would be familiar with data transfer between the two OS's and *might* know how to deal with any issues that arise in trying to do so. Just boot into a live usb and mount your drives there. How should we know? The product is proprietary and has virtually no documentation. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.) The moment I plug in the linux hdd to the USB port, Paragon crashes/closes. I've discovered that if I do not have the hdd plugged into the USB port, the Paragon extfs program runs just fine. When I go into manage drives, this hdd does show up on the list, so my PC does recognize that it exists and that it is a partition. So I don't understand why it won't run and I'm not sure how to fix it.ĭoes anyone know any other programs I could try to access this hdd, or have any suggestions on how to get this Paragon extfs program to work? I've tried restarting, tried running as admin and tried google searching but it seems to work for everyone else. When I try to run it, it shows up in task manager for a split-second, then disappears/stops running. Now, for some reason, the program will not run. Installed the program and followed the directions. I bought a USB enclosure and tried using this program to allow my PC with windows 8.1 to read the extfs on that drive. I now need to retrieve the data from that hdd. The laptop itself died (hardware issue) but the hdd is fine. Have a 2.5" hdd from an older laptop which I had running Ubuntu.
