Let me first say what I think you asked as I am not clear: 1. I am running a live CD 2. I want to run a terminal to do command line activities against my hard disk If I am correct, this is relatively simple. First, to run a terminal. BTW, it would help to know which live CD you are running. The terminal program often has a link on the task bar. In the menu system for gnome it is under "Applications->Accessories." Once you have your terminal up and running, the next step is to get root access: Ubuntu style: sudo su - Redhat Style: su - Next mount the disk: 1. create a directory where you will mount it. mkdir /mnt mkdir /mnt/disk 2. mount the disk mount /dev/sdYX /mnt/disk Y will be a letter such as a b c etc. If you only have one disk SATA, it will be a. X is partition number from 1 to x. If you only have one partition on a single SATA disk it would be mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk Please note: you are root. Anything you do can kill things on your disk so be extremely careful.
