Hey there linux users. Proud to say i finally got to use it today and i'm loving it. I'm having one problem though...
I'm booting from the DSL cd and everything loads fine, but i can't access my main harddrive, nor do i have any clue how to. I'm familiar with blackbox and flux so i'm not too retarded. If someone could show me how to access files on my c:\ drive, it would be much appreciated.

Note: I run windows xp normally and don't want to overwrite or erase anything on this c:\ drive.

it basically thinks the highest part of my cdrom is the furthest back it can go... doesn't even think i have a hd
well i figured out the problem i think... my sata drive isn't supported in the lastest version of DSL, which major sucks. i'm gonna go buy a cheap ide drive tomorrow and boot on it..
It is supported. That's one of the reasons the developers went with the 2.4.31 kernel. You need to boot with sata as a boot option.

what do you get when you try:

cat /etc/fstab

and

mount
yeah i tried booting up with sata, and 3 drive partitions did appear for my sata drive, but i still can't access the contents of the drives... grr.. any ideas?
