accessing my other partions
HI, I a REAL newbee on linux (iv'e got FC5) and i have 2 questions
1. how do I access my other partions? (that would be the ones i use in windows with my music, movies, photos and so on) 2. if i can't access them without loosing data, how do i get to windows so i can make copys of them? |
In short, you mount the other partitions on the linux filesystem. The details of how you do this depend somewhat on your setup, but basically you use mount. First do
Code:
man mount Figure out what your disk(s) look like, in terms of partition layout, perhaps with the aid of Code:
fdisk -l /dev/diskname(s) Once you have the mount procedure nailed down, you can optionally make it automatic after booting by putting the correct entries in /etc/fstab. If you post your output from fdisk -l, someone here can probably give you more specific advice. --- rod. |
thanx
thank you, and Iĺl guess Iĺl do this as root?
|
yes, those commands are in /sbin (root controlled commands)
so to change your partitions you will need to be root. |
can't make it work. it just say "/sbin is a directory" and stuff like that
|
As root,
/sbin/fdisk -l --- rod. |
thanx. i'll work on it in the morning, need some sleep (its almost midnight in sweden and I've got school plus work tomorrow) thanx for the help, goodnight
