Guys
I am running the Linspire Linux version on my comp but it is unable to play any video files like avi or mpg . But the mp3 and rm are playing fine .
How can i access my hard drive on ubuntu linux .
And one more problem , even with the volume level compleately full , the volume is not that loud as compared to windows .
Ok!
enable the 'external amplifier' under "switches" tab in ur volume control to get full volume and check the volume controls over there if they r low !
To play video files u need mplayer or xine get the updated codecs!
Install Xine..Its good.Linspire is based on Debian so download deb packages
If i am running Linux directly from the cd will i be able to install the player .
How do i view my HArd Disk in UBuntu .
One more thing guys , I am new to Linux so i am basically trying the Linux tat have been provided with digit without installing them . But while browsing thro the forum i came across various type of Distros most of whom which i havent heard . Can you guys please tell me the names of quite good ones and which may run on Intel 915 MB .

Ubuntu
Fedora
Suse
Mandravia..
Thanks for a prompt reply vignesh

@mako_123
if u use ubuntu live cd it may have mounted ur harddisk windows etc partitions....otherwise u can mount as mount /dev/sdax /mnt/windows,
where x is the hdd partn u wan2 mount....
with ubuntu installed u need to edit /etc/fstab to enter proper partition datas...
Ubuntu 4.10 automatically mounts your partitions...
Others the anwser is above.
