  • One question: can you show hidden files, like the App Data for MineCraft, so you can retrieve you saves??

  • @TheFilmMaster I'm not sure in ubuntu I'm sure theres way maybe using the sudo nautlius command but not entirely sure

  • Such a great video!! Thanks so much!! I now know what to do when I can't boot Windows on my computer!!

  • @TheFilmMaster Glad it helped

  • What if the computer has no CD/DVD Drive?

  • @iTechNetwork Ubuntu can be installed on USB/ Thumb drives as well so you can boot off that if you have a netbook etc

see all

  • man i couldnt understand you switch to decaf

  • I have an older Mac with a dead HD and the CD Rom is not working, any suggestions? I can't find any way to boot Unbuntu from a USB onto a Mac.

  • A green drive as the boot drive.. No no no, anyone experienced with computer building will know not to do that..

  • @PlanetPatricksVideos I don't have experience with iMacs, but I think it'd be best to search disassemblies on your exact model as other methods may differ.

  • @TheFilmMaster I think there's an option for hidden files in Nautilus (either in the view menu or by hitting Ctrl + Alt + H I think)

  • Thanks for sharing this. I've used Ubuntu LiveCD's to do so much when things weren't working right (just today I used an older LiveCD to partition my drive). They really come in handy!

  • how do you take a imac apart??? i would mind upgrading my mac :P
