Hello all,
Sorry if this is a done-to-death topic, but I am pretty much completely in the dark when it comes to Linux (yes, I have been brainwashed by microsoft....)
My question is this: a friend recently acquired a virus of some sort on her XP machine that rendered the SATA drive 'unformatted' as far as any windows OS is concerned. Following other forums, I found DSL... I have created a DSL boot CD and have successfully booted into the DSL environment. My problem is that I would like to access the SATA drive to see if I can recover any data from it, but I cannot see any HDD's in emelFM (only the boot CD and floppy drive).. probably because I do not know how to mount devices etc.
Can anyone explain where/what commands I need to use in order to find/mount the HDD in order to then transfer data to a safer location?
Your help is much appreciated, really saving someone's life here (of course, no backups!!).. and apologies again if I sound like a stuck record, but Linux is a foreign language to me right now.
