Harddisk access of old Linux distroForum: Other Help Topics Topic: Harddisk access of old Linux distro started by: dbennett Posted by dbennett on Mar. 29 2004,01:31
I have an old Satellite Pro 425CDT with an old version of RedHat on it. I bought a copy of DSL and booted it up. I can mount the existing harddisk any number of ways, but it is only RO. How do I mount it RW, or better yet, reformat it for a clean system?

Under a root terminal you can mount it with a "-w" to make it read/write.
Also, while under a root terminal you can fdisk the drive if you want to wipe it out to start fresh. |
