Here is what I would do: sudo fdisk -l
This should give you a list of all your devices. Mine looks like this: Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hda2 1276 1307 257040 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 1308 9729 67649715 83 Linux Disk /dev/sda: 1040 MB, 1040580608 bytes 128 heads, 34 sectors/track, 467 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4352 * 512 = 2228224 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 467 1016175 b W95 FAT32 then take a peek at /etc/fstab with the command 'cat /etc/fstab' if all the devices listed by fdfisk have their directories, then simply do 'mount /dev/nameofthedevice /media/nameofthedevice' (on my machine this could be 'mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1'. If one or several devices do not have their own directory yet, simply make 'mkdir /media/nameofthedevice' (on my machine this would be 'mkdir /media/hda1' on only then mount it. There are easier GUI ways to do this, but this works from the command line, does not depend on your distro or GUI, and will give you clear error messages if something does not work. Take a peek at 'man fdisk' and 'man mount' for more info. HTH. Kind regards, Andrei PS: email the list or me directly if you have any more question On 3/10/07, Guy Johnston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, does anyone know how to mount a hard drive (or just a particular partition) when using the gNewSense live CD? I can't seem to do it in Nautilus, even when using sudo. I only want to read data from it, not write to it, and I'd be worried of overwriting something and messing it up.
