Ok this is the problem. My workstation died. I tried to boot another linux machine with the hard drive from the dead box and it does not work. At this moment, I just want to recover the data from the /home partition. How do I do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. alberto ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Alberto Santana Center for Chemical Sensor Development for Explosives Department of Chemistry University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez P.O.

If you can't boot from the harddrive by putting it in another box, try to mount the relevant partition. I mean you should put the HD as a secondary drive into a box that runs normal. Make sure you change the jumpers if you put it on as a slave. Then simply mount the partition that you are interested in (in this case /home if it was a separate partition) as root to an empty directory. It would of course help if you had the partition list of the HD from the dead workstation. By the way, what processor and motherboard was the dead box running? Are you sure that it is not the drive that failed and prevented the workstation from working? Best regards, Alex. On Thu, 23 Oct 2003, Alberto Santana wrote:

What do you mean by "does not work" - you'll have to let us know what you tried to do and how, and what errors (if any) you got. At this

In principle you just mount it and copy the data off. But untill you have it in a working Linux box that's not necessarily so easy Dylan -- Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars - Billy Bragg
What about booting Knoppix 3.3 and burning your root to CDRW or DVD?
