Mounting a Linux Partition/Disk

How to?

[Nick_W]

Hi all,

If I have a 2 disks how can I mount one from the other? - I have tried this:

[code]mount /dev/hde -t ext3 mount/

But it gives me errors? - I'm not even certain how to identify the old disk (am running a new install and have overwritten the boot, doh!)

Many thanks..

Nick

/dev/hde what? :)

Use /dev/hde1, /dev/hde2, etc...

use 'cat /proc/partitions' to find the one you need.

hde, are you sure you have that manu IDE controllers, it's not the usual. Do a grep hd /var/log/messages to find out which hd is your hard disk and specify the partition number (see prev msg).
