RE: [Emc-users] BDI Live and access to Windows files

[<CH...@mi...>]

Jon:
 
 I think I have almost achieved success.  The main problem was I was not
logged in as root.  I found on the Morphix.org page that the correct command
is sudo sh, which got me root access.  From that point, I was able to do
fdisk, see the partitions, and also create a directory (/mnt/disk) which I
was able to mount the hda2.  From that, I was able to read my windows
directories and load a .tap file in EMC.
 
Now, should I log out as the root user?  If so, how?

Jon: 

Thanks for the prompt response. 

following your suggestions, I tried this: 

ls -al /mnt/hda1 

and got: 

total 2 
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  root  1024 Aug 28 12:04 . 
drwxr-xr-x  9 root  root  1024 Aug 28 12:04 .. 

Same result with ls -al /mnt/hda2 

However, I am not certain I am logged in as root.  

When I do: 

who 

I get: 

morph  ttyp()  Aug 28 12:05 (:0.0) 

Which isn't root, as far as I know.  So, I tried to change to root with: 

su 

but got: 

Password: 

I pressed enter because I don't know what the root password is, and got: 

su: Authentication failure 

I don't know whether this helps you at all.
