Would appreciate some help. I’m a newbie to Linux!!
How could one save files from a non-bootable Windows, and mount the Windows partition (source), as well as mount a USB pen drive (destination). Using Dr.Web LiveCD, Terminal accepted a command to detect the Windows disks: fdisk -l It shows the Windows partition as /dev/hdc1, and the USB pen drive as /dev/sdb1. The USB pen drive is FAT32. Then, issued the following commands (not all together!!): mkdir /mnt/usbsc /mnt/winhd mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/winhd mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbsc However, this is as far as I’ve gone, and would like to know how to use Midnight Commander (MC) to copy and save the files. MC has not recognized hdc1 or sdc1. What am I doing wrong? Also, using MC, how would one see the contents of the Windows partition to save some of the files in it?? What is the right command for this, if one wanted to view what is in Documents and Settings? Thanks again for your help. -------------------- To do is to be - Socrates
