My intention is then to reformat the USB drive to ext4 and copy it all back to the USB drive.

The problem I'm having is that some files refuse to copy as they have apostrophes in the filename, e.g. Don't answer me.flac. I get a message saying that the file does not exist. Any suggestions how I can get around this?

Incase you're wondering, the reason why I'm copying to an ntfs drive is that it's the only one with enough space on it.

I currently have an OpenBSD and WS2008 R2 VM working without issue.

When trying to install openSUSE 11.2 it crashes almost immediately, saying "linuxrc crashed."

I have tried, with the same result, installing from both the iso image, and also from a burned DVD.

The same iso image installs fine under VMWare Fusion on a MacBook Pro. But crashes in Hyper-V.

Now to the real problem: Grub shows boot options as Suse, Windows 1, Windows 2, and Suse Failsafe. Suse boots okay (splash page signature problem, but not serious), but Vista will not boot. Windows 1 responds with "missing bootmgr" and Windows 2 similarly (not sure why Windows 2 even shows up). Below is some further technical info. I sure hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

(http://forums.opensuse.org/2071749-post4.html) I... re-topic/thread title from: openSUSE Forums - View Single Post - Repair/rescue in 11.2 LiveCD??

I had MsWinXP on the 300gb drive (sda here), then installed 11.1 to the 120gb (sdb)
They lived together happily with openSuse grub menu working fine and dual booting.

I then installed 11.2 on to the 300Gb, leaving windows where it was and only sharing the swapfile on the 120Gb. All was fine, and triple boot available, 11.2's grub menu would appear first, if I wanted 11.1 I selected it, then the old 11.1 grub menu would appear. Yesterday I booted MsWin for the first time since installing 11.2.
Now, I boot and get the 11.2 grub menu, but if I select ANYTHING other than 11.2, MsWinXP starts....
