    how to mount harddisks with the live cd?

    I just messed around with the Kubuntu 6.06 live cd and the system works very fast, seems very solid and I like the general look & feel of it all.

    But the biggest problem I have is that i can't acces my 2 hard disks, i tried mounting them but couldn't find a correct way to do so.
    The drives show up in my Konquerer, but i'm unable to acces them.
    Can anyone give me some information how to do so?

    If i can get the drives to work i'm probably going to switch over to linux.
    thanks in advance.

    Hmm - this seems to work:

    Checking partitions:
    Note My kubuntu is in the hdb.

    ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb

    Disk /dev/hdb: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9964 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/hdb1 * 1 7228 58058878+ 83 Linux
    /dev/hdb2 7229 9963 21968887+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
    /dev/hdb5 7417 9963 20458746 b W95 FAT32
    /dev/hdb6 7229 7416 1510047 82 Linux swap / Solaris

    Partition table entries are not in disk order
    Mounting:

    sudo mount dev/hdb1 /media
    Now my kubuntu (harddisk) is in the /media.

    Mounting two or more partitions:

    1) make dirs:
    sudo mkdir /media/first
    sudo mkdir /media/second
    2) mount:
    sudo mount dev/hdb1 /media/first
    sudo mount dev/hdb2 /media/second
