I made a linux bootable usb flash drive. When I browse that usb flash drive in windows, it has a boot folder and inside it is the grub folder. Then I put a file in the flash drive in the same directory level as the boot folder. How can I access that file when I boot the usb flash drive in the other computer? When I am in the linux shell already

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating a bootable Linux CD to distribute a sandbox environment to customers that will work on multiple PCs.One requirement of this environment is that we do not want the user to have any access to the underlying hard drives in the computer to prevent any accidental and/or malicious damage. I can prevent the disks from automounting with a few udev custom rules, but is there any way to prevent/block the user from manually mounting the hard drives after boot up.

copy a compact flash card with a form of Linux on it (Found out it was custom version based on Fedora Core 3). The flaky USB card reader seems to have hosed the flash card, it shows up with unknown volume after ejecting the card and reinserting it. My troubleshooting: I have Ubuntu on a flash drive that I used to start all this to read the flash card.
- I tried Disk Utility to reformat the card as Master Boot Record and the volume as ext3 with flag set to Bootable and copied the files using cp in command line.
- I tried ISO Master & mkisofs to make an ISO that the USB thumb drive tools can use, but it wouldn't copy all the files. Looks like symbolic links either were ignored or couldn't find the source file with -f.
- I learned that I might need a boot partition with a boot image, which I think I have in initrd-2.6.14.7img, but I don't know how to do that. Do I also need a swap partition?
My updated goal: using the files from the flash card, make a bootable compact flash card with Fedora Core 3.
creating a bootable floppy from a bootable floppy image on a NON Linux machine I am trying to install dsl (damnsmallLinux) on one of my old Compaq 2000 Deskpro machine having 256RAM and 2 GB hardisk. (which I hope to increase to 8 or 10 GB ...can I use a larger disk capacity??) I have downloaded the floppy bootable image from the website using a machine a fedora OS machine that does not have a floppy drive. I have even converted the image file to an iso file. I can copy this image file or iso file to the Compaq machine but how do I use it as a bootable floppy? OR how do I create a bootable floppy disk from this image?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know i can make my script run at boot time in runlevel 2 by putting it in /etc/init.d/ and creating a symbolic to it in /etc/rc2.d but thats when Linux is on hard drive.
I want to run my script from a flashdrive such that when a user plug in a flashdrive and powers ON the machine, it may start booting from the OS in flash drive and eventually executing my script.
How can I achieve such a functionality?
I have tried burning OS to flashdrive but I never succeeded in booting OS from flashdrive.
The reason I ask is, we have a home server running Fedora 12. I would like to be able to let anyone just plug in a flashdrive, and have Fedora automatically grab and copy all the files on that flashdrive to a specific share.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have backup outlook.pst files on the non-bootable windows os partition. I can access these backups from the Ubuntu partition, but of course they aren't readable. I understand that one can use Mozilla's Thuderbird on Windows os to establish outlook exportable files for the Ubuntu client,but I don't have that option as my Windows os is not booting. I've found Ubuntu so dependable that I have no interest in attempting another expensive and lengthy recovery process of windows.

When I try to do this, I come to an 'allocate drive space' window, but whatever I do I get the error message: 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu.' I just don't know what this means, or what to do next. I'm loathe to ditch windows, and I don't want to have to use a flashdrive all the time.

I first considered just adding a slave drive, but thought it might be better just to copy all of the content from the old drive to the new drive. Then, make the new drive as the master and the old as a backed up copy slave drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI no longer can log into my ubuntu mail server as a normal user after installing dtc. I have been trying to resolve the issue but to no avail so I am now going to re-install ubuntu and re-configure the mail server. The problem is that I may have some files in the normal user's profile that I want to backup before I do the re-installation. At least I want to see what folders and files are in there. The other issue is that my hard drive is encrypted. How do I access the files and folders using root?
View 3 Replies View Relatedit all started with my eagerness to have a triple boot system with XP/Win7/Ubuntu 10.04. I had xp on a PC with an Asus M/B with a single 320GB SATA HDD.Then I installed Win 7 (probably into a logical drive). It went well.Then after searching for some help I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on to another partition. Fine up to here, but when I saw I was able to access other partition files from Linux but not the other way.Then thru some help from some forums I tried to free some space from the Linux Partition and make it as a shared drive between Win and Linux.
In this process I used GParted live CD to rearrange partitions and tried to format the unallocated space it is showing "you cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk is already containing the maximum number of partitions."
I have Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04 dual booting on one machine.I'd like to access my Windows 7 files from within Ubuntu (and preferably vice-versa). I've not been able to find any tutorials online to tell me how this is done. There seems to be many tools for Win to Ext2/Ext3 but nothing really providing the solution I need.
