A Few Tech Questions

Ok, well I am very new to linux, with bugger all experience.

i currently have 2 problems...

1) I have a Western Digital 500gb Sata2 HDD with a NTFS file format on there; but i am getting an error message that says 'file system NFTS is not supported by your system.' Will i have to put a new format on there? Or is there a way that am i able to change that?
(If the need be to format, how can i create a backup of the data that is currently stored on there?)

2) Try as I might, I have been unable to get sound working through my computer, any suggestions would be great!

If anyone would be able to help, that would be much appreciated Smilie

Chearz in advance
Kantong

auconvert

AUCONVERT(1)						      General Commands Manual						      AUCONVERT(1)

NAME

       auconvert - perform various conversion operations on sound files

SYNOPSIS

       auconvert  [-file  <format>]  [-data  <format>] [-rate <sample rate>] [-comment <comment>] [-raw <data format> <num tracks>] [-volume <per-
       cent>|`max'] [-?] [<input file>] [<output file>]

DESCRIPTION

       The auconvert program can be used to convert from one sound file format, and/or data format to another.	It can also  change  the  comment,
       sampling  rate,	and volume of a sound file.  Finally, auconvert can be used to convert raw audio data into a sound file.  If no input file
       name is given, standard input will be used.  If no output file name is given, the original file will be replaced by the converted  file	or
       standard out will be used if the input is coming from standard input.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with auconvert:

       -file format
	       The output file format.	The -? option will display a list of valid file formats.

       -data format
	       The  output  data  format.   The  -? option will display a list of valid data formats.  Note that each file format may only support
	       selected data formats.

       -rate sample rate
	       The output sampling rate (in hertz).

       -comment comment
	       The comment to be stored in the output file.

       -volume <percent>|`max'
	       The volume option can be used in two ways.  If the argument is a percentage, the output file volume will be converted to the speci-
	       fied  percentage of the input volume.  If the argument is the string `max', the output file volume will be converted to its maximum
	       level.

       -raw <data format> <num tracks>
	       This option is used to convert raw audio data into a sound file.  <data format> is the data format of the raw data.   <num  tracks>
	       specifies the number of tracks in the raw data.	You must also use the -file and -rate options when converting raw data.

       -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and data formats.
