Hardware :: How To Mount Harddrive When Running Live CD?

Mar 30, 2011

I installed Linux (ubuntu 8.04) to an 80 gig harddrive, but want to reformat the drive to install windows. Problem is, for some reason windows XP won't recognize the harddrive at all.More importantly, when I boot from a Ubuntu live CD, it doesn't seem to recognize the harddrive. Or at least, there is no entry in /etc/fstab like /dev/hda (hdb,c,d) I have tried different Live CD's (ubuntu, knoppix)... How can I get the Linux liveCD to recognize the drive?

Fedora Installation :: Boot Live Iso From Portable Harddrive

Mar 11, 2009

I'm making life difficult for myself. Summary, I have a laptop with F10 installed on a portable harddrive (sdb 1-3, i.e., no logical volume) Works great, no complaints so I guess this reduces to a grub question; how do I edit grub.conf to boot an iso on sdb4? Fedora10.iso for example.

Debian :: ETCH Usb Harddrive Mount

Jan 28, 2009

I have two ext3 drives recovered from a failed NSLU2 network file server. I need to recover some of the files stored on them, so...I attempted to mount them on my debian ETCH (LV file system), thus:

# mkdir /mnt/usbdrive

# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive

Instead of seeing the drive content I see my harddrive's GRUB & Kernel partition. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do to see the drive's content?

CentOS 5 :: Xen Can See But Wont Mount NTFS USB Harddrive?

Jan 29, 2010

I've been trying to mount an NTFS USB hardrive inside a Xen DomU, but I keep receiving a permission denied error.I am using CentOS release 5.4 (Final) x86_64 for both Dom0 and DomU with latest updates

DomU # mount /mnt/iomega
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Permission denied

Steps taken to reach the error:

1. I installed fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g in the Dom0 and successfully mounted the USD drive to make sure it worked. Then I unmounted it and block attached it to the DomU.

Dom0 # xm block-attach DomU phy:/dev/sdd xvdc r

2. I installed fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g in the DomU.I turned off SELinux (Though I don't think this is an issue)

DomU # /usr/sbin/getenforce
Permissive

3. checked for the USB drive with fdisk and found it /dev/xvdc1

DomU # /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/xvda: 10.4 GB, 10485760000 bytes[code]...........

Ubuntu :: Mount NTFS Harddrive Not Visible In Fdisk?

Jul 7, 2010

I have a ntfs hard drive (my "C" drive in Windows) and it has some very important data (baby pictures) on it. The drive is, for some reason, very fail-prone. Last time it went out, I used ubuntu to make a windows disk (I have the key, nothing illegal!) and it went to the error fixing part or what have you and fixed it all up. That was a few days ago, and I was working on backing up the picturs but hadn't finished, and it failed again. Now I can't get it to fix the current windows installation, even though it's doing the same thing (making a clicking noise and stalling on boot before eventually giving up and booting to the ubuntu "d" drive.), it will only take me to the part about installing a new copy of windows, which I don't want to do because that would wipe the drive.

So my next idea was to try and get at the pictures through ubuntu, but when I use sudo fdisk -l, it only shows me my ubuntu hard drive.. Is there anything I can do to find and mount the other drive? I really can't afford to take it in to a professional for data recovery, and I've had them charge me an arm and a leg and do nothing but wipe my drive in the past, so I want to do everything I can to try and get my pictures back myself.

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot Error 15, Can`t Mount Harddrive, And Can`t Run Fsck?

I was running 11.0 and it stalled in the middle of a number of updates. On reboot I now get (if I remember correctly) Error 15: File not found.I managed to get my hands on a 11.0 live cd and started trying to fix grub. However, when I try mounting the harddrive using "mount /dev/sda1" I got

Server :: Unable To Mount Additional Harddrive From RAID Volume System

Apr 8, 2010

I believe server section is the best when speaking of RAID stuff...

I have the following situation:We have a DELL T3400 with embedded fake raid on it. I dont know exactly how the system was setup (I wasnt here at that time), but the RAID was enabled in bios and while booting, the two harddrives would be seen as members of intel raid volume0 (RAID 1 mirror). I am not sure if the software raid was actually properly configured in Linux (Fedora 9) and if the OS was reconstructing the whole raid or it was just the bios part that was mirroring the /boot or just some parts of it. Frankly I find these hydrid raids very confusing.Some bad disk manipulation from my part caused the server to crash, but I was able to recover and boot just with one hard drive after using fsck.

I decided to get rid of the raid as it's not the right solution for the application we need it for and decided to go for a traditional single harddrive system and to use Ghost for Linux to clone to a spare disk when backups are needed.So I installed the latest Fedora 12 distribution onto another harddrive and disabled RAID in bios (changed from RAID ON to autodetect, which is the only other option).

Here is what I have now:
/dev/sda has the newly installed fedora 12
/dev/sdb is an empty harddrive that I would use as an intermediate
/dev/sdc is the old harddrive member of intel raid volume0

sdb was partitioned into sdb1 sdb2 and sdb3 and I created an ext3 filesystem on sdb2. The hard drive belonging to RAID volume0 (sdc) has a lot of work done on it and I would like to be able to recuperate the files to the new disk (sda). I cannot mount that old harddrive while in fedora 12, as it sees some unknown raid member filesystem on it probably assigned by the intel raid chip.

So I decided to do it from the other side: to boot from raid volume 0, and from there mount a third intermediate harddrive (sdb) onto which I would copy the documents and then mount the same harddrive from the newly installed fedora 12 and copy those documents from that intermediate harddrive.I can mount /dev/sdb2 from fedora 12 fine and copy stuff to and from it, but not when I boot from the RAID volume 0 harddrive (sdc) with fedora 9 on it. It keeps saying that the partition in question (/dev/sdb2) is an invalid block device.I am stuck here, as my knowledge in this sort of things is very limited.If somebody can indicate me how to recuperate files from that old raid harddrive onto the new fedora 12 drive, I would appreciate a lot.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Live CD Failure - Goes To The "Log In" Page And Not The Live CD Page On Running

Aug 22, 2010

Just got back to attempting to play with 10.04 using its Live CD. It consistently goes to the "Log In" page and not the Live CD page on running. I saw a Post specifying a F key to be pressed on boot-up to get to the desired starting point some time ago, but did not write it down. Some advice did say press Any Key but this does not seem to do the job. Tried to use the search function here but no joy. Can anyone remember which F key? Note that as a check, I tried to use 9.10 Live CD and this worked fine, so it is not a machine problem.

Debian :: Running Live-CD From Fixed HDD?

Nov 18, 2010

I've been asked to create a Linux build which will contain open source vmview. Simple enough, but I would like to have this deployed onto different desktops from an imaging server using multicasting, we use Symantec Solution Suite 2.5 therefore the smaller the image the better for us. I would also like the image to be fully manageable i.e log in and add / remove apps etc but all it will need is a user account, a root account, web browser, rdesktop and vmware view open client.

I have gone down two routes:

1. There are Live-CD's out there that can do the important things that I want which is to use vmware view and I do like the fact that it is compatible with all our current hardware so I am happy to use this for the time being but I hate the fact that we have to boot it from CD as we have quite a few PCs in the room. I would like to convert the distro to boot from HDD exactly as you would from a CD but cannot seem to find a solution to this.

2. I have created a Debian and a OpenSuse build which does exactly what I want albeit taking a bit more disk space than I would like, but my issue is how do I capture and deploy this to different hardware as our imaging server only does cloning.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Running An App From Live CD/USB?

Jan 15, 2011

I'm going to create either a live CD or USB to demo Ubuntu on my Intel Mac Mini. I'd be doing this only to test one piece of software under Linux.

Is it possible to run the software from my live CD or USB just as I would running Linux (thus, without the need for the software to be installed on a HD)? If so, where do I need to save the software file(s) when creating my live CD or USB?

Debian :: How To Mount And Start (live) ISO From HD

Nov 16, 2015

I did try

Code: Select allmenuentry "Debian live 8.2.0 KDE" {
    insmod loopback
    insmod iso9660
    set isofile="/debian-live-8.2.0-i386-kde-desktop.iso"
    #recherche de la partition dans laquelle se trouve le fichier ISO et montage de celle ci dans "/"
    search -sf $isofile

[Code] ....

in /boot/grub/grub.cfg without success...

it goes with Ubuntu, Mint, Vinux, Trisquel (all last Ubuntu like ISOs at distrowatch) interchanging "live" through "casper" (3 time above).

Ubuntu Installation :: Live CD Does Not Mount?

Apr 17, 2010

I've tried to install Ubuntu before, back in 08. Unfortunately, my computer didn't like the standard install process (just froze up whenever I selected any option from the splash screen - maybe because I have an nVIDIA graphics card), so I wasn't able to get it to work. Anywway, I saw that they had messed with the default nVIDIA drivers in the 10.04 beta, so I decided to try that.

I made a Live CD and booted from it. I hit the "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" option. It thought for a little while, then started the bootup sequence. Then I got an error message that said:

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

Could anybody tell me what this means? Should I try using the alternate install, or did I just get a bad disc? (I don't think I did, though, because I redownloaded and burned again and still got the same error.)

HSo basically i'm trying to run the ubuntu live cd from vista and it doesn't boot up when i restart my computer like it says it should. So i tried finding it in the boot list before windows starts and i only find windows there, no CD. I then tried installing the software that comes on the disk to help if the cd won't boot, and that fails when nearly done giving me some "invalid argument" notice..

Ubuntu Installation :: Error - Live Cd Won't Mount

Aug 28, 2010

[URL] this thread had some information but i need some clarification as the results i got from the diaagnostics were not the same as the OP. my prooblemm is when i put the cd in the drive, i get this error:

Unable to mount Ubuntu 10.04 DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

when i type this command:

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom

i get this message:

mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/scd0 already mounted or /media/cdrom busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/scd0 is mounted on /media/cdrom0

[code]....

the fellow fixed his by adding or editing his menu.lst in grub, but since my results are not exactly the same as his i dont know what it is i should be adding or editing. but it seems to have something to do with installing generic ide drivers and disabling the flopy drive and another item that even he didnt know what it was doing

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Mount /dev/sda1 In Live CD

Jun 8, 2011

In a desperate attempt to play Tomb Raider, I have shrunk the /dev/sda1 with GParted in Maverick Live CD (the same one I used to install) then installed WinXP on it. Unfortunately for reason X, XP simply does not boot. So again I am in the Live CD, I have deleted the XP partition and am now trying to fix Grub2. In all the tutorials, you need to mount the normal partition. Which is what I am trying to do, but:

Code:
sudo mount /dev/sda1
mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

So there in nothing that I can do. Under "Places" I see my 489GB file system but I cannot mount it.

At least I am getting Internet through the Live CD and I always have Knoppix on hand.

EDIT: I should tell you that there is a boot flag on the /dev/sda1.
