Re: [ Ubuntu-BD ] installing hardy direct from ISO
Can you try deleting that directory from shell? cd to the upper level and try: sudo rm -rf NFS\ Underground/ Let me know what happens.

I installed Hardy by CD and afterwards manually deleted the files that had the virus from my NTFS drive, so it turned out okay. I have another problem though: There is a NFS Underground folder on the NTFS drive that appears empty both on Windows and in Ubuntu. When I try deleting through Ubuntu, I get an error message. I ran a Sophos anti-rootkit through Windows for the drive, and the program could identify some game files as being hidden in that folder, but could not identify as being any rootkit virus or restore them. Its taking up a couple of hundred Megabytes on my hard disk, so any suggestions would be appreciated Ammar On 5/28/08, Russell John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Ammar bhai, I'm sorry it didn't work out.

Re: [ Ubuntu-BD ] installing hardy direct from ISO
Its better to format the drive from windows.. if you would like to keep it for WIN... else format it on ubuntu.
