Hi friends,

I need to access my harddisk from a live Linux distribution (I did boot from a Linux Mint 7 CD), I can see my data, but in the console I get only the Mint prompt.

How can I access (read and write) the harddisk while using the console from a live disribution?

If I use the standard "su -" and password, I am still in the Mint file system and its files - not in the file system on the disk.

Any advice - please also to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as I do not have access to my computer and write this from outside.

Thanks.

Just saw your message (that'll teach me that I need to rss feed to the forum). You need to create a folder and mount your HDD using that folder as the mount point.

The exact command depends on the file system that you HDD is using but is along the lines of :

-t is optional and it could work without it.
