General :: Finding Mounted HDD While Booted Up On LiveCD?
Mar 2, 2010
I have a Fedora 12 system. Having some boot problems here and I booted up my Fedora 12 live CD to troubleshoot it. My boot problem is I get to this message: Registering binary handler for windows applications: Then the screen flashes a few times and enternal hang begins. I installed wine before the reboot. I cannot figure out where my HD (which is sata btw) is after liveCD bootup. I figured I could turn wine off some how. Is it in rc.d or init.d? Anyhow here is my mount info from terminal.
[root@localhost liveuser]# mount
/dev/mapper/live-rw on / type ext4 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
[code]....

Why would gparted not show a mounted partition (and unassigned space)? This is on a Sandisk Sansa e270 which mounts it's data on /media/Sansa. I can utilize the music files but the player won't work. I'd like to reinstall the player software but the Sandisk utilities won't even install (in Windows) if the player software is not working. I thought it would be easy in linux but Gparted doesn't show either the mounted partition or device software partition and it used to so.

Can a Mac Mini, Server edition, be booted off either of its two disks?
I'm interested in having one disk with OSX Server on it, and the other a dual boot Linux/Windows, to get around OSX's fussiness about boot loaders.

I have been dual booting my XP and Ubuntu for a while now. However, my pc monitor does not turn on until I am booted into windows/linux. This means I have to 'guess' to a certain extent which OS to select on boot (using GRUB). I expect I will have to change a setting in the BIOS but I am not too sure what to look out for.
After turning on my pc I have to restart it for it too do anything, it appears to just hang!However as I cannot see what is happening due to the monitor problem I am completely in the dark as to why it would do this/what is going on! I have XP installed at the front of my hard drive and Ubuntu at the back. It worked ok the first time I tried it after install (still had the monitor problem but was able to guess) then after that this random problem!

I installed SLES11 SP1 on my machine. It is available with kernel source in /usr/src/. I built another kernel with this source. New kernel image and initrd are available in /boot. But the newly build image is not getting booted up.

I wrote a Perl script which will serve as a daemon, so I'd like to let the OS (in my case, Ubuntu Linux) automatically run my Perl script after it has booted up.
How can I do that?

I just booted ubuntu from a disk that I burned to try and salvage some files off a hard drive with a failed boot sector (maybe. not sure what the problem is,). Anyway, I can see the files, and I have a large portable hard drive that I can use (a MyPassport 320gig, if I recall correctly). I'm having trouble accessing the drive, and I think it might be because there's something popping up in the task bar that I can't see. Unfortunately, I can't see the task bar! My screen's resolution is off, and I'm having trouble adjusting it. I browsed the various settings and I couldn't figure out any way to change it.
Is there anything I can do? EDIT: Oops! I didn't look into the Monitors options... how embarrassing.
EDIT2: Okay, looks like I can mess about with the resolutions, but all of them still deny me access to the full screen - still can't see the task bar.

With Mandriva 2010 and KDE 4.3.5 it updated to kernel; 2.6.31.12-1mnb and I want to find out if it boots to this new kernel, or the previous one. In the Ubuntu gnome desktop I do know how to find that easy, so what tool or terminal command will display the current running kernel version ?

Since 10.10 is not out yet, I think I'm going to try Mint. (or possibly Lubuntu - I have both ISOs copied to CD already)
Question is: Is it possible to install the new OS on the partition that now contains Ubuntu, without disturbing my Windows Vista partition? (I just need Vista for occasional use of MagicJack- otherwise I'd gladly just wipe the whole disk)
Can I just boot my Ubuntu live CD and run Disk Utility and delete the Ubuntu partition? (I prefer to use GUI rather than CLI).

Booted up system and it stated please insert system disk press any key.So it sounds like my startup got corrupted? I running centos 4.5 on it (old yes) Is there a repair I can perform by a disk? Would it matter if I chose i386 or x86? I cant remeber which version was installed on it.

What is the best/easiest way to create a Linux Live CD? Specifically, I'd like to create a Live CD that is very minimal in size, runs XFCE4, Wireshark, and has hardware drivers that make it compatible with a wide variety of laptops, ethernet drivers, and 802.11 drivers.
It needs to have an up-to-date kernel and it needs to be relatively easy to update as newer kernels become available.By minimal in size, I mean would like to get my features in to less than 300MB. I only need 1 language (English) supported and 1 keyboard layout. I'm personally partial to Ubuntu.

I have tried "lfslivecd-x86-6.3-r2145" and found it fantastic for my simple use of computer. I hardly can understand anything on the README.html file. I just wondered if it is possible to install the LiveCD's OP system to a partition on my hard-disk-drive.

I've read that you can connect to the internet after booting from a Linux LiveCD. How does this work? For example, if you use dialup, and modem+connection sw are configured, you just connect as usual? I'm conceptually fuzzy on this--since the sw for dialup lives on the hard drive, you can access the hard drive as usual? And if you have doc or text files on a USB flash drive, you can access the flash drive and open+edit the docs using a text editor included on the LiveCD?

Fedora 12
2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686
I downloaded the gparted iso and burnt it to a CD.
gparted-live-0.5.2-1
This GParted Live was created by:
create-gparted-live -l en -b u -e e -d sid -m http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian -s http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian-security -g http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core -n 2.6.32-3 -i 0.5.2-1
[Code]....
I put the disk in and reboot. Nothing happens. I just get a flashing cursor in the top left hand corner. I then have to switch of the power button to get it to reboot. I have done this a number of time and the results are the same.
Can anyone tell me how to boot from the gparted liveCD?

Basically this morning, I decided to format my Win7 as it was getting really slow and I did so with no problems. I also have a Linux Mint OS on dual boot. Since I was springcleaning my windows partition, I decided it was a good idea to do the same to my linux partition.
I downloaded the latest version of Linux Mint (Julia) and burned the LiveCD. Now here is where the problem lies, when I restarted Windows and chose to boot from the LiveCD, it didn't work. No joke. There was just a little underscore blinking for a long time before it went back to GRUB which prompted me to select an OS to boot.
However, when I went into my old Linux Mint OS and restarted the machine, the LiveCD worked... to a certain extent. It would load and look as though it was ready to install Linux Mint 10 but the moment it got to the option screen, the whole screen turned into a checkered and jumbled mess.
At this point I thought it was the LiveCD or the .iso file. I had an Ubuntu LiveUSB for recovery purposes and I tried that. The exact same thing happened. Can't boot the LiveUSB if I restarted from Windows, but works when I reboot from Linux. BUT still the same checkered screen that doesnt respond.
Did a bit of googling and reckoned it might be something wrong with my GRUB. Did some updating and didnt make a difference.
Then I tried the Super Grub Disk and STUPIDLY uninstalled GRUB. (Note that booting to SGD had the exact same problem - can't be done if I rebooted from Windows). Now I can't access my Linux Mint 9 cos the the bootup screen (mbr) only has Windows 7 as an option.
Remember me mentioning that I can't boot from any CD/USB/recovery CD when I reboot from Windows? And now that I can't access Linux, there's no way for me to do any form of recovery!
I've tried using the command prompt utility at startup recovery but to no avail.

I re-installed my Windows OS today and wanted to install Linux Mint as a dual boot. Before the reinstall, I used the LiveCD Gparted to expand my C: from 25 to 30 GB. All went smoothly.After the fresh Windows install, I went ahead and installed all the hardware drivers and other programs I need. Now I don't seem to be able to boot from LiveCD successfully.On booting from CD Rom, it goes up until the screen with the Linux Mint logo and stays there (I tried giving it time, waited an hour and nothing).Thinking something was wrong with the CD, I tried booting a USB drive. Used Linux Live USB creator to use the same .iso file to boot from. It seems to 'freeze' at the same point.
Formatted the drive, and installed UNetbootin and used the same .iso file. This time, booted it in compatibility mode. A few commands flashed by (links to pictures below), no idea what it means. I've taken a picture, maybe you can tell me what it means? This is the only lead I have to figure out what went wrong (Even if I don't want Linux installed, booting with Live CD to recover data is invaluable)
Pictures I took of the messages in compatibility mode:

P.S: I don't know if this is important but I thought I'd mention it. I was in Gparted (in the LiveCD) when the screen froze. I had to hard boot the laptop again, and I haven't been able to get the LiveCD to work since.

My computer's fine, and is running Puppy Linux happily, but I'm having trouble entering my BIOS menu (I forget the access key, and no matter which keys I try, Puppy Linux boots up).
Is it possible to edit BIOS settings from a LiveCD?

I downloaded the CentOS-5.6-i386-LiveCD.iso and burn it on a CD, as usual. When booting, it does the automatic boot but then crashes, with "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 354800 (and more)". I am having the same problem with making a boot-able USB. I am not exactly sure what is wrong, I see two folders on the cd LiveOS and isolinux. I'm not sure if it is suppose to be like this, if the burning process when ok. I'm trying to set up a desktop on a pc (with AMD Sempron processor). This is very strange, I ruled out that it couldn't have been my computer (because my Fedora boot disk booted fine), my cd (because it is new and an entirely different brand), or the .iso (because I tested it in VirtualBox, which it booted perfectly).
Files in LiveOS folder:
livecd-iso-to-disk
osmin.img
squashfs.img
TRANS.TBL

Question may be stupid, but I have LiveCD image to boot from, and I do not want to buy cd-rw or cd-r, I want to write it on DVD, but it looks like I have to convert structure CD to DVD, because I need to boot from it. K3B refuse to burn LiveCD to DVD disk.

Something went wrong with my computer. I want to copy my data folders to a usb drive and reinstall. So I'm using a livecd. However I can't access the folder. Under home/username the username folder shows a no-entry sign. When I use gksu nautilus I get loose the no-entry sign but just find a text file. How do I get access to the files that are there, I think they are encrypted.

My friend's PC recently started acting up. He had me install Sabayon on it and everything was fine until a few days ago. Every app I try to run after the PC boots results in a segmentation fault. I figured maybe something was wrong with the HDD, so I tried to boot from a DSL liveCD to run fsck, but it wouldn't boot; it freezes right away. I then tried the Sabayon LiveDVD and got a kernel panic.Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? I am completely clueless; I've never had anything like this happen before.

I have created lvm snapshot, its dd file and .tar.gz files are on lvm volumes. Snapshot is of / directory, is residing in lvm volume. The root directory is also lvm volume. So I was trying to restore from snapshot of / using live cd of rhel5 BOOT.iso. which i found it in /rhel5_dvd/images/. The tutorial I was following said that the live cd should support lvm. So when I am trying to restore after few steps when it asks for media which contains rescue image, I was unable to see the lvm volumes created earlier, instead it shows the partitions added to physical volume earlier i.e., #pvcreate only. So I wanted to know whether the live cd of rhel5 supports lvm or I am making some mistake in restore?

Recently I was trying out a boot disk I had made, and basically, I switched it off several times due to it booting the completely wrong kernel. Now, I'm getting to the stage "Checking File systems" and then comes up [Failed]. I then get a message saying Reboot required, and that it will reboot in 15 seconds, just a few seconds before it reboots I get "/dev/shm not mounted, /dev busy" or something similar.
I've booted up my sysresccd, ran "fsck.ext4 -fcv /dev/sda2" to force a check and scan for any bad blocks, it came up clean, then I rebooted and got the same error, so I copied the kernel and system.map over to /boot to make sure there's no corruption and reinstalled initscripts and util-linux-ng, rebooted, same error.Tried different kernels, I've checked fstab and menu.lst, no problems there, so I still don't get why I still get the same problem.

The Fat32 master HDD in my Intrepid Ibex 8.04 Ubuntu PC is mounted and stays so.
I installed a second (slave) ntfs HDD into the Ubuntu PC. Each time I turn it on, the drive needs to be mounted.
What (exact steps) do I need to do so that the slave drive stays mounted after the PC is turned off.
The goal: When the PC is turned on, I'd like the slave HDD already mounted and ready to use.
