how do i mount my fc6 files while running an ubuntu live cd?
on my dell inspiron 510m laptop i've installed fedora core 6. i think i even managed to put my home directory on its own partition. i put in an ubuntu live cd and now i'm wondering how i access my files on my hard drive (i really only need my /home directory). i've searched quite a bit, but can't find a straight answer.
i think the file system is type tmpfs (but how do i find a drive/partition file system type?) and i have no clue if its on /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 or LogVol01 or what... basically i wondering: *how do i find out where the drive is *and what file system type it is i assume that when i mount something it is read/write (if not, how do i ensure that it gets mounted read/write?)... thanks for any help =) |
1. Can you not access your fc6 install?
2. Do you not have the DVD or 1st CD/ Rescue CD? If you can access fc6, boot up in it and give us the output of fdisk -l. If you have the discs I've mentioned in 2, boot up with one of them. At the prompt type linux rescue Go through the options till you get to the command prompt. Then # chroot /mnt/sysimage # fdisk -l After that we should be able to tell you how to mount from the LiveCD. When installing did you choose the default options to partition? |
You should be able to run 'fdisk -l /dev/hda' from Ubuntu to see how many partition and their respective type.
Then just mount then one at a time to view the contents in a file manager such as Konqueror.m Something like: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt Then look at the contents of /mnt in Konqueror. |
Code:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda Quote:
