Unable to install to HD
Up to General forum
Posted by
The live Home edition is very nice indeed, however , I am unable to install it to my HD .
I currently have Windows Vista and I wanted to dual-boot with this distro, before i finally reject windows in favour of Linux.
I get an errior message stating, unable to mount the 2 NTFS partitions allocated to Windows (states I don't have permission?) am I doing something wrong here?
Help would be appreciated, please.
Can you try this vd_home version :

Hi John,
You can try the following procedure:
- Open a terminal by <Right click> then click on Terminal- Type : sudo thunar : thunar window will be opened in "root" mode
- Go to /etc/X11 directory:
. Do a copy of xorg.conf file (to xorg.conf.save for example)
. Double click on xorg.conf file to open it under mousepad
. Go to SubSection "Display" - Depth 24 (at bottom of xorg.conf) then add your new screen resolution. The "Modes" line becomes:
Modes Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
. Save xorg.conf file then quit thunar
- Do <Ctrl><Alt><BackSpace> to re-execute Xfce4
