So I'm trying to boot some form of Linux off of a CD on a Dell laptop so that I can pull data off its hard drive. So far I've tried using the file utils and Linux boot disk options on the Ultimate Boot CD. Unfortunately, whenever I try to mount hda or hda1 from those apps, it tells me the device doens't exist or is not recognized.
Is there something special I have to do to mount hard drives off of a live install, or on a Dell laptop, or somethin'? Any help is appreciated.
