Dual Boot Debian etch and PC Linux OS

Tags:

Hi, i'm trying to access my PC Linux OS partitons when i'm on Debian Etch. I have search the forums and i can't see something similar to my case. I would like to have a description to how to access these partitons (Debian is not as easy as PC Linux for me). If only i could read it.

Many thanks

PCLinux

Submitted by Eeltje on Sun, 2008-01-06 05:02.

You have to know on which partition PCLinux is installed. Then you can mount that partition as root, for example, if the partition is /dev/hda 7 you do:

mount /dev/hda7 /mnt

Make sure that /mnt exists! After mounting you can access PCLinux at /mnt.

partition

which partition does pclinuxos have. you may have to specify. the above mount command may not directly work since there may not be entry in fstab for it.
As root you can give
Make a directory with mkdir /mnt/pclinuxos
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda7 /mnt/pclinuxos
Then it will get mounted.
If it works you can accordingly update your /etc/fstab file. see earlier entries and put the above 3 entries for partition type(ext3), device (/dev/sda7) and mount point (/mnt/pclinuxos) and setting as users,rw
after that it will be possible for user to mount
