how to get another hard drive to show in suse10.2
i recentlcy' set up suse on a dual boot with windows but i got an old hard drive with some files i want off it, i cant work out how to get it to show on my linix sytem any one got any ideas
|
How is this old hard drive connected?
|
Assuming that the drive is installed in the computer, SUSE may see it automatically. Look in /mnt or /media to see if a mount point has been set up.
"fdisk -l" to see how the computer is seeing the harddrives and partitions. |
it shows this but wont in my copmyter

OK--I assume that the "old disk" is hda (since sda has the Windows partition)
Did you check to see if SUSE automatically generated a mount point? To mount it from scratch: cd /mnt mkdir part1 mount /dev/hda1 part1 cd part1 ls similar procedure for the other partition To have it mount automatically, add an entry to /etc/fstab See "man fstab" for details |
ill give it a try now, i only need to get the the old home partition so ill see what happens thanx ill get back to you with results

What do you mean "nothing happened"?
Your listing shows that you successfully mounted the partition hda1, got into it with cd, and did ls. I shows that you have one file or folder named "lost+found". Try ls -al to see EVERYTHING--including hidden files an verbose information. Is it possible that what you are looking for is on hda2? WHOA!!!!--i just noticed that hda1 is swap. You need to look on hda2 and hda3. sorry I missed this earlier..... |
