im a newb to linux but was told to try it , so i have done and i like it. Im running rh9 but i wasnt told to mount my 2nd Harddrive at install (duh!) is there a way for me to do this without installing all over again? Need help fast because it contains all my client work and information!
thanks..but... the harddrive is NTFS and when i type the mount -t ntfs command it says "fs type ntfs not supported by kernal" bet this means i gotta install windows , transfer the files from the big hdd onto the small one then reformat it?
ok...try this
open a terminal
type su
it should ask you for a password that you created during the installation...
next you will be back at the prompt again
try accessing the hdc5 now...
Ok, when you boot up your box. It should come to a sign in screen. If it does, then put root as sign in name, and the next screen should ask for your password for root, enter it ..then you should be logging in as root , after that. I know that works, with RH9. Not for sure with other Distros. Or you can go with the process chem1 stated. Both will get you there.
