[QUOTE="compufunk, post: 521938, member: 288741"] You should be able to just browse to your HD using the default browser, (konqueror if your using KDE). On the left hand side of the open window click the system button (I think thats what its called, running XP at the minute). From there go to storage media, If its been mounted you should see your local harddrive here. alternatively check the /mnt/ or /media/ directories to see if the local disk has been mounted. If not, do the following. Make a directory to mount to. [CODE]mkdir /mnt/mountpoint[/CODE] Find out what your drive is labled as. One way to do this is to use qtparted. just type 'qtparted' at the command line and it sould launch the app. This is a partition manager, you should be able to get the info you need there. Your hard disk will usually be labled hda, hdb, sda or similar, any partitions on the drive are labled with a number, so partition one on your drive would be something like. [I]hda1[/I] mount the disk at your chosen mount point. [CODE]mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/mountpoint[/CODE] You might need to give some extra paramaters when mounting, like specifying the filetype. For ntfs disks. [CODE]mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/mountpoint[/CODE] Use 'man mount' at the command prompt for more help. Are you using raid? If so you might have problems mounting the local drive with BackTrack, I did. PS, Sorry for hijacking your thread Robbo:) [/QUOTE]
