hi folks,
i had a hard disk die on me a while back and im trying to recover some data on the drive.
to do this, im using this freeware......
http://www.sysresccd.org/index.en.php
basically, the end result is a cd, and linux and various tools run off the cd rather than the hard drive (which dont work anyhow!!)
the cd also contains quite a few tools that can help me do this. one of this is called midnight commander. it seems to be the simplest as im no techie.
from what i can see, it is simply a command line that allows you to do simple unix like commands to find, move copy etc files.
here is my question:
the command line starts in the cd rom directory. what are the unix (linux) commands to move from the cd rom, to the hard drive (device??), find my files, and copy them to a floppy drive?
thanks for any help.
