Accessing external hard drive from other system

The short version is I had a ubuntu server that has become inaccessable. My plan is to wipe it out and start over. I had some files backed-up to an external hard-drive (formated ext4). Before I wipe out my server, I want to be able to confirm that I can get to these files on the external hard drive. I’ve tempoaraliy installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop onto another computer and plugged that drive in. The main folders show up, but when I try to acces them I get "The folder contents could not be displayed. You do on have the permmissions necessary to view the contents". When I click on permissions it says that the owner is "1002 – user #1002" (I have no idea what that is) and that since I am not the owner, I cannot change these permissions.

[ubuntu] Ubuntu 11.10 won’t install in my new system

After receiving my new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed, and checked that everything was working fine. I reconfigured the partitions and prepared to install Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).

But when running the Live CD, all the console messages were visible and after identifying all the hardware it just stopped wihtout any message.

I got the same situation using the Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) Live CD. The Live CD’s for Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) ran OK. I finally installed Maverick and it runs fairly Ok, but it does not load the NVIDA drivers so I can’t use any hardware acceleration and I have no sound. (Even the hardware is identified correctly)

I tried to upgrade to Natty and the upgrade process finished correctly, but after rebooting I got nothing but a blank screen.

I tried to install from Windows using Wubi but it simply could not even start (the pyrun.exe told me that there wasn’t any drive in \Device\Harddisk2\DR2).

I even tried installing Fedora 16 or Linux Mint 11. Same results: after identifying the hardware they just stopped.

When I had Ubuntu Maverick installed, I tried the recovery mode and it showed the same messages that appeared while running the Live CD’s, but after that it showed the recovery options and resumed without any issued.

When I tried the memtest86+ (4.10) included in Maverick, it also froze. I ran the lastest version of memtest86+ (4.20) and this time the program run normally and it didn’t detect any issue.

I am completely lost. Any help will be greatly appretiated.

My computer specs are as follow

Dell Studio XPS 8300
Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3GHz
6 GB RAM DDR3 @ 1333 MHz
SATA HDD ST32000641AS 2000.3 GB
Video Card: GeForce GT 545
Sound Card: SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
