When booting DSL from a CD is it possible to navigate file located a hard drive? If so how would I go about doing this?

Open Emelfm, navigate to /mnt/hda1, right-click it and choose "mount".or Click the drive button on the mount app untill it displays "hd0", Clikc the button that says "unooumnted" and if it turns green then open Emelfm or midnight commander and go to /mnt/hda1 or Open a terminal and enter "mount /mnt/hda1 && cd /mnt/hda1" Posted by Airesz on Sep. 04 2006,03:25
Ok thanks for the info. I am now able to view files located on my hard drive. One last question I created a just file on my hard drive. I want to delete it using DSL CD Boot. I have tried to delete the file I crated but I get somethig that says something like "read only" .....What would I have to do to be able to delete this file? Posted by mikshaw on Sep. 04 2006,03:54
If your partition is NTFS(common in Windows NT/2000/XP), there's not much you can do with DSL. If not NTFS, you might just need to be root in order to delete files.

Is it possible to move files. I am on a windows xp computer. Are there any version of linux that will let me delete. rename, or move files?

There are several. The problem is simply that NTFS is closed and it changes with every Windows release, so stable and complete support has never been accomplished in Linux. There is support, however limited. Speed is an issue, and until very recently you could break things simply by adding to a file.< http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ > |
