Taking data backup in Rescue mode
 

Hi All,

I am not able to detect my USB hard drive in Linux rescue mode after passing "fdisk -l" as i want to take the data backup in my USB hard disk.

Please help me in doing the above mention procedure.

Regards,
Ravi

How about using a live CD (ie Slax) to boot with. This will detect your USB, and you will have a GUI! BARGAIN!

I think that Linux would load a llimited number of drivers and deamons in recovery mode. Most probable HAL is not loaded neither is your USB bridge...
