Installed PendriveLinux, now what?

[hoelmkjaer]

Hi all!

First of all, I'm completely new to this Linux thing, so please don't be too hard on me because basically I have no idea what I'm doing

Right! To the point: I've installed pendrivelinux on my usb drive, and it works like a charm when I boot it up in Windows. My problem is, I need to access the internal hard drives on the computer the usb drive's plugged into, and when I open up the System window all I get is my cd/dvd-drive, some Casper-rw thingy, "Filesystem" and "Network".
There should be at least 2 more, since I got 2 internal hard drives. So, please, someone help me out here

Thanks in advance

Hi and Welcome !

You have to mount Partitions of Internal Hard Disks. Boot up PendriveLinux, open Terminal/Konsole and execute this

su -
/sbin/fdisk -l

It will list partition structure of Internal Hard Disks. Post output here.

Thanks a bunch!
It's been killing me for days! Finally I won't have to use my school's stupid Novell Client XP zombie computers.

Thanks for the quick reply

EDIT: All right, just tried it... Don't think it's working... How am I supposed to type it? Just all of it on one line? Because I can't seem to get to the next line without the user@pendrivelinux: $ line following. This is what I get: [SPOILER][/SPOILER]

It looks as though when you tried first time you did it correctly eg

su -

then return ... but you enetered the wrong password.
Try again and use the root password. When you type

fdisk -l

you should get an output something like this ...

jonathan@jonathan-laptop:~> su -

jonathan-laptop:~ # fdisk -l

Well, I get to the password point all right, but I can't type anything in there, my only option is to hit enter and that leaves me with the message in the picture above...

[jayd512]

but I can't type anything in there

You can type there. It just doesn't show anything for the root password, not even *****. This is for security reasons.

[hoelmkjaer]

Security reasons? I think * works pretty well... anyways, thanks

[hoelmkjaer]

I'm sorry this is taking so long, I don't have much time for myself these days. Anyways, here's my output:
<a

[Jonathan183]

You need to type

fdisk -l

its a small L not a 1.

[hoelmkjaer]

It's not working... Well, it is, sort of, but it says the harddrive is only
1073 mb and it doesn't appear in Computer.
