Yes Gutsy has native support for ntfs read/write.
ray|raven
Think Zen.
AFAIK 7.10 should support ntfs read/write.
Try it urself,
boot from kubuntu , open the file-manager(should be called konqeror).
The drives would be mounted under /mnt or /media.
(Dont exactly know which, havent used kubuntu)
They would be named as hda1/sda1 etc.
If you installed windows in C, hda1/sda1 it is,
And so on.
Try deleting some useless files,If it works, you can delete the virus files.

^ In your /home folder. Press CTRL+H to unhide the hidden files and look for .xsession-error file. Remember the dot. It denoted hidden files and folders.
Dont worry Prakash Bhai will soon find this thread.
@sunny123:
My suggestion would be Gutsy 32 Bits as it is easy and help is widely available.
@ajay:
Boot with Kubuntu and open konqueror. It will show removable media, click on it and it will show various partitions but will name it as sda or hda. Your c: drive will be named sda1/hda1. Double click on the partitions and it will mount in /media folder. Then you can delete the virus and other files if you want.

@narang:I am absolutely zero in Desktop Customization.so ask some one like gowtham,infrared for info and the best is GIYF .Hi guys!
Well I am trying ubuntu & kubuntu. I must say its a great experience. I'll use this thread for my queries. I've used Red Hat a little bit sometime back & learned its commands but you may consider me a linux n00b & please don't laugh at my questions.
Right now I am using Live CDs as my desktop HDD is gone for replacement.
Here start my queries:
1. The fonts aren't that clear. I mean they appear like smudged on the LCD screen. There's isn't any LCD problem as Vista runs fine. Do I need to tweak some font settings? I've read & heard Linux has bad fonts & font rendering problems. So please help
2. How can I make my desktop like this:
*img136.imageshack.us/img136/4690/myubuntuvl6.png
Its posted by MetalHeadGautham. How can I install/use these gadgets like clock etc?
and BTW,I myself have a XFX 7300GT
1.there are many things u can do.the easier one is to go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts>details:
select dpi=104 if u have a 17,19" LCD display.
now in hinting section select "medium".
2.for showing system hardware temperatures like hdd,processors,u can install lm-sensors and run sudo sensors-detect to configure. install "sensors-applet,hddtemp" using synaptic and right clik on ur desktop panel(top preferably) and add "hardware monitor".exit.then rightclick preferences and customize acc.to ur needs.
gfx card temperature can be viewed in "nvidia-settings" .
Now,did u have "nvidia" driver installed from restricted manager?
Did u have internet connection configured on ur system,
Did u have ur sources.list uncommented?(remove "#")
below is my /etc/apt/sources.list for gutsy:

u can use "nano" editor for editing in CLI or text mode:
using nano editor:

Who stole my Alpaca!
I have the same on board display for my Asus M2N MX-SE. The onboard display should work without doing anything. The problem is most likely with how you have your monitor setup. In fact the 6150 is detected better than the 8600 gt. Ive heard of issues which has been resolved by using Envy if it is a driver problem. However I haven't used it and hence won't recommend it. Its not even supported on the irc channel of Ubuntu. My recommendation would be first to uninstall any driver that you have installed And just go through the process of reinstalling it again.
If it still acts funky then you can try using the
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command . You will need to know the resolutions your monitor supports and the frequencies it supports as well
Please wait for someone to confirm that this might help before continuing cause I'm pretty much new to Ubuntu as you are.
This is an absolute Myth. Id say that pretty much the same amount of devices work with 64 bit Ubuntu as would the 32 bit distro. As far as apps go, you have a majority of most applications in 64 bit versions working in UBuntu but for the rest 99% work as their 32 bit versions as well or usually theres a alternative or workaround posted. Check out the Ubuntuforums.org 64 bit subsection for clarifications.
As far as Werewolf goes, I hear that its pretty good as well. However I think theres quite more to download on Werewolf as updates than on Ubutnu, gary4gar tried installing it and I remember he telling me that he had to download like 450 mb of updates 1 month ago.
PS I'm a happy Ubuntu 64 bit user for some time now Imnot sure about the actual time . But Prakash might remember

Thanks Prakash Bhai! It worked! Now I have the effects. They are cool. But I got tired by doing this & that only for effects I still feel linux is for geeks. Lekin main bhi haar maan ne wala nahi!!!
Bhai I still feel fonts aren't that clear. Its CRT 17". Now I'll add widgets etc. Also please suggest best alternative for Yahoo Messenger. It should have Voice Call capability. Pidgin doesn't have it. Also suggest the best torrent client. I've some downloads going on in utorrent in Windows & I want them to be resumed in Ubuntu.
P.S.- Sorry for replying late.

Here's another problem. I've installed gdesklets. However when I run it from Applications->Accessories->gdesklets it opens up a blank window which is then greyed & is closed automatically after few seconds!

bhai,
I have already suggested:
for 17" CRT,make sure ur getting the most comfortable resolution as u get in vista in Ubuntu too.(prolly 1024x768@70hz?)
open in menu System>preferncs>appearance>fonts>details
select hinting to "medium" or "slight" acc. to ur ease of view.
BTW,didja have a nvidia card?
deluge-torrent is a good torrent client in Linux.ktorrent comes second.
and my personal favourite is Azureus
Did u meant voice calls or voice chat?
for voice calls may be skype,ekiga are what u looking for.
for voice chat,
Gyach will be good;personally I dont have any experience with this.
*freshmeat.net/projects/pyvoicechat/
also try this blog:
*babarhaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/voice-chat-on-linux.html
and Pyare Mahodayji,I dont have any idea about theming and artwork in GNU/Linux try the better ones(dark star,Ird etc)
and I typed naranga(means nimbu) when typed fast with left hand

I meant any IM application for yahoo which has Voice Call or chat feature.
Secondly I want to resume my downloads in ubuntu which I was downloading in Windows. Will i work in Azureus?
I use 1024*768 @ 85Hz in Vista or XP. I have NVIDIA 6150 Onboard Graphics.
As far as customization is concerned I am waiting for Anirudh Bhai, DarkStar & everyone in customization.
And I am not a nimbbu
