I didn't get any error message, so perhaps it is either a fault on your copy of the DVD (unlikely, since you duplicated it with the d'load) or something in your local hardware which isn't compatible.

This is a problem in the kernel wich appears only in some computers. I point at it here only because some other user might also stay wondering that "Unable to mount the livecd". I have a

Unable to mount hard-drive from Live CD Started by Hopeful Still, Nov 28 2014 08:36 PM Please log in to reply 11 replies to this topic #1 Hopeful Still Hopeful Still Member Members 6 posts Posted 28 November 2014 - 08:36 PM Hello people, please tell me you can help with this! My system crashed, after which it would first boot to a black screen with the prompt grub rescue>I then tried to re-install Bodhi alongside the existing version, but this failed after getting stuck at the stage of grub-install. Afterrebooting the machine it now https://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7693 returns a blank screen with the prompt Read ErrorI then booted from a live disk but could not locate, let alone mount, the hard-drive where my data was located.

I was then able to mount the partition listed above as /dev/sdc6 (although there it was called sda6), but got an error trying to mount the main volume sdc1 (there called sda1). I found no data in the home directory of sda6, so the files I'm looking for must all be in the main partition. Don't ask me what's going on with these partitions, I don't know why they are arranged this way, or what is supposed to be in each. If I recall correctly this was the default reccomendation when installing bodhi and I just left it at that.So. What can I do to get access to my precious files? Do I need to use testdisk or photorec or something? Please tell me there's a way to copy them!

I have just tried to run a PCLinuxOS v9.3 - big daddy - from my CD on an XP configured machine by simply altering the boot drive sequence. I get the list of boot options as expected and choose LIVECD - default. The PCLinuxOS coloured badge appears and starts the loading process, then I get an error message "ERROR: Unable to mount the livecd" - "dropping you to a limited shell". It then loads /initrd/bin/ash - ending with a message - "cant access tty; job control turned off" and then leaves me with the ash command prompt.Bearing in mind this whole apparatus works perfectly well with XP at the moment and also that I have a perfectly normal IDE CD read drive unit, this was unexpected.It looks very serious and basic to me - can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be / where to get help etc.Many thanks - a newbie.

What do you intend to use this Linux machine for?Ubuntu, VectorLinux, SuSE and Fedora are all good alternative choices and there are many others.

I was coming round to that idea myself as I've made no progress over the past 2 days. The problem is it may be a faulty distribution burn but I cant even check the CD as it wont mount. I will download something fairly simple - as you suggest - and try that first. Probably getting back to some basic Unix type scripting and a basic shell is needed first.Wi
