|
IMDB rating: 0.00 Plot: The Bridge to Nowhere is the story of four young 20-something men from the rough Upper North Side of Pittsburgh. They are stuck in dead-end jobs and struggle with dysfunctional family lives. The guys, inspired by the images of pop culture and the desire to break away from the neighborhood, regularly scheme to make extra money by running minor underground activities, including: sports booking, poker tournaments and house parties. One night during an evening out the four young men stumble across the “new neighbors”, two independent prostitutes, Jasper and Candice, who end up inspiring a new business idea. Trapped in her own existence, Jasper, agrees to join forces with the young men to create, quite accidentally, what turns out to be an empire that launches each of them into financial riches. Along the way each character battles their own demons regarding the choices they have made In the end, however, their world comes crashing down on them in grandiose fashion. It’s the city of bridges, where water separates the haves and have-nots, the bridge they sought so desperately to cross ultimately ends up being The Bridge To Nowhere |

External Hard Drive Won't Mount?
Straight to the point:
I am trying to recover files off a 3.5" IDE Hard Drive that had Windows ME installed on it. I have access to a MacBook, Windows XP Desktop PC, and a cd with Ubuntu 8.10 on it.
Attempts:
1) If I make the HD the only primary master HD it won’t boot up.
2) If I make it a slave drive it won’t boot up.
3) I purchased an external enclosure from Radio Shack which turned out to be crap and online reports supported this conclusion. I got nowhere with that thing. Bestbuy doesn’t sell 3.5" IDE enclosures.
4) By using an IDE / SATA to USB kit, I am able to connect the HD to the PC via USB cable. XP will detect the drive, however the HD will not my displayed under "My Computer" nor "Disk Management".
Onto linux (this is where I grabbed the Ubuntu cd):
5) When connected, the HD will show up under "Computer" as a "USB Drive". When I double click on it I get the error "Unable to mount location Can’t mount file".
Allow me to show you some commands I ran:

Sorry for the long post. I HAVE searched this forum, ubuntu forums, and google and have yet to find the solution to this problem (that many people have had as well)
Thank you for any help you may provide!
I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THE CD THAT CAME WITH THE ADAPTER BUT I’LL KEEP LOOKING FOR THE DRIVERS ONLINE. HOWEVER I DO RECALL READING THAT THE DRIVERS ARE ONLY NEEDED WHEN USING A WINDOWS 98 OR OLDER MACHINE. I’M CURRENTLY RUNNING XP. I’LL CHECK THE BIOS AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
THE USB ADAPTER WITH THE HS PLUGGED IN DOES NOT COME UP UNDER THE BIOS.
I MEANT TO WRITE HD* NOT HS IN MY PREVIOUS DETAIL
As far as attempt #1 + #2, there is a file called boot.ini that only allows the computer to boot from the original motherboard. You could attach the usb adapter with the HD in it to the computer, and then restart the computer. Go into the bios and look at the boot devices. It should show your HD thats in the adapter. Also, I betcha that the computer is reading the adapter, making the du-ding noise indicating that something was just inserted, but then nothing happens. If I’m right then good money says that you need to install a driver for the adapter. So, install/reinstall any cd that came with the adapter, or look online for drivers for that adapter. Well, good luck!
