Code:

[root@localhost ~]# sudo mkdir /mnt/maps
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount /dev/mapper/fedora00-root /mnt/maps
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/maps/boot
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/maps/boot/efi
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/maps/dev
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mont --bind /proc /mnt/maps/proc
sudo: mont: command not found
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/maps/proc
[root@localhost ~]# sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/maps/sys
[root@localhost ~]# chroot /mnt/maps
[root@localhost /]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

done

does this mean that the entire command failed, even though it generated several images?

rebooting after exit still just loaded the live linux

Solution

Code:

# fdisk -l

Code:

# mkdir /mnt/nts

Code:

# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /mnt/nts

where sdx is the Windows volume that stores your data.

From here you should be able to access your files with the file manager. You can access the root (/) directory in the file manager by clicking + Other Locations , then Computer. From there navigate to /mnt/nts and you will find them.
