Hey all.

Well i started out with installing fedora on my USB stick.
I have now installed Fedora on a intern hdd.

How can i access ALL the files there's on the usb?

They are both Fedora 9, and i know the password for root on both systems.

Mount the USB to another location (e.g. /mnt/usb) on the hard drive. All the files that were in root (/) will now be relative to /mnt/usb. For example /etc/fstab on the USB will now be /mnt/usb/etc/fstab. The /etc/fstab you see will be the one ont he hard drive.

Allright thanks i'll look into that

Depends of course if both systems are using LVM - and if they use the same VG/LV names as used to be quite common.

Allright this doesn't work. Maybe i wasn't clear enough.

Well, when i plug in my USB stick it successfully shows up in "Computer" and on the desktop. I can see the boot files and the config and so, but nothing else.

I want to see like root's files on that system, without booting from it.

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 test
mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or test busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /media/_boot

and if i try with /dev/sdb2 it says wrong filesystem, and with /dev/sdb it says it is mounted or test is busy.

Why "-t vfat"? That would specify a vfat (DOS/Windows) filesystem which you shouldn't be using for a Linux install. Most common ext3 filesystem but there are others for Linux.

It is telling you it is already auto-mounted as /media/_boot.

What happens if you do "ls -l /media/_boot"? It seems your files ought to be in that directory.
