Re: puppy Linux reports problems with USB/network drive



hi everybody

since I'm periodically burning some installation-CD of various puppylinux, I want to ask a small question: have you ever thought of back-up-ing the usb and just format it again?

... or am I misunderstanding?

You can try ntfsck or ntfsfix from ntfs-3g (formerly ntfsprogs).
Use with caution.

testdisk may be able to at least tell you what if anything may be wrong with it.

Also I am told that team-os https://www.teamos-hkrg.com/index.php iso of win installations are pretty reliable and download quick.  Just plug in and install, no keys nothing ... Make sure you get their latest security fixed edition.
