I didnt understand. Are u trying to do a backup from a partition (mandriva) by using a "Fedore" live CD?

did you mount the disk with the live cd? or just try to access it from KDE desktop? If from desktop you probably have to mount it.

mkdir /path/to/mount
mount -o loop /dev/hdx /path/to/mount

that works for me nearly every time i need to mount a drive. i used that to mount my NTFS file system to copy the files over before I formatted.

Quick & Dirty solution:

in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf insert into section <config> permission for all users to mount all disks

Code:

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
    <return result="yes"/>
</match>

Posilo, what was your solution? I followed rev918's solution and it works. Has anyone found a "proper" fix for this or the reason for it happening?

Oh, sorry for being so secretive: I also followed rev918's suggestion and it worked. As an absolute beginner with Linux I was just unsure how to deal with the command lines... but figured it out myself.

(By the way, if you want to hear something funny(?!), after doing that, I managed to format the whole HD of my laptop with GParted while all I meant to do was resize the newly created partitions and leave WinXP as a secondary option... But that's another story, and now I have just Xubuntu and I'm happy with it. )

Thanks. I had the same problem and this fixed it.
