![]() 'mount' objected without hesitation to my early mistakes but “mount -t dev/sdb” was instantly accepted. No error messages or other output resulted and the command prompt was immediately redisplayed but 'mount' then failed to show that the external drive had been mounted. If I try something like 'mount -t /dev/sdb1 /mnt/xdisk', where xdisk is a directory I have been told to create, then I am presented with a prolix description of 'mount's syntax, most of which leaves me bewildered. 'mount' then once again confirms that sdb1 does not feature in the list of mounted devices.Ĭan someone offer any suggestions? I have read one or two of the other posts on this topic but none of the details match my problem too well and I did not understand some of the replies. ![]() If I try to add a line to /etc/fstab, for example, I find that I do not have a directory called 'fstab', only 'fstab.d' and that is empty. I have roughly one year's experience with Linux Mint 13 which I chose because it so closely resembled Windows XP.įollowing instructions on-line I attempted to create a bootable USB drive (32GB Sandsik extreme) with Linux 17.1 installed to enable a trial before attempting a permanent install beside windows 7 on a new computer with Win7 prof. On the usb I see a 4.0 GB area highlighted in G Parted but not accessible from the Linux file manager. This shows up as a ~1.4 GB sub-directory titled casper. and also as 4.0 GB 'file' named casper-rw. #INSTALL DDRESCUE GUI IN KALI INSTALL#Ĭan anyone explain what is the purpose of this sub-directory? The software I used to create the usb bootable drive and install Linux to is 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9'. My intent was to create a bootable usb drive for Linux that also contained my required hardware drivers, etc. This doesn't appear to be working 100% although Linux 17.1 boots the nvidia hardware drivers do not appear to be available even though I downloaded these and they are on the same usb. On boot-up a message box indicates that hardware acceleration is not enabled and higher than normal processor usage may occur.Īny assistance / direction, etc. Hi, all, I am new to the forum and quite new to Linux, I am running Mint and Kali from a USB drive, all is going well with with the software and I am starting to find my way around it. #INSTALL DDRESCUE GUI IN KALI SOFTWARE#.Also only clone the whole drive to another whole drive (will overwrite its contents) or the whole drive to an image file on a NTFS / ExFAT formatted drive with greater than 1TB of storage available. You’ll be at a significant disadvantage if there’s USB anywhere in the mix. ![]() It should also only be connected to the computer via SATA-SATA cable. That’ll give you the freedom to try different parameters. If you’re using a log file (which you need to), you can suspend and even shut the computer down mid-recovery. It could also mean just powering it off and keeping it off until you get better advice. That could mean jumping to another location on the drive (-i flag), reading in reverse (-R flag), or something else like making it jump around more aggressively. If it starts spewing read errors and keeps it up for more than 10 seconds, stop and try another strategy. The default settings are sufficient for the vast majority of cases.
