Re: mounting external hard drive from rescue mode shell?
Thanks Eben and David! I am now on a shell (BusyBox v.35.0 Debian 1:1.35.0-4+b3) I don't see the mounting points to execute cp. There is nothing under media nor root; under usr I can see only: bin lib local sbin share. Where are the internal h-drive and the external? I would very much appreciate your further help. Who could have envisioned a community like this back in the 80's? This is great!

mounting external hard drive from rescue mode shell?
Dear all: Is it possible to mount an external hard drive while running Debian in rescue mode? Furthermore, the ultimate question is how could I copy folders from the computer's hard drive to the external one while in rescue mode? Many thanks!! Heriberto
Access and Back-up a Root locked laptop
Dear all My root account is locked. I experienced the well known issue "Debian authentication failure" at the log-in stage, i.e. it would not accept the root password. I accessed the BIOS to enter the safe mode, and discovered that my hard drive is almost full. I shall not attempt a fresh partitioning as many files are not backed up. So, I would like to ask: - Can I access the system to back up my working files? - How can I back up the files to an external device? Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Release: 12 Codename: bookworm running on a Laptop hp ProBook 445 I would appreciate it if any kind soul could help me. I will buy you a cake! Heriberto
