mc4 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I borked my hp l2000 install by trying the speed up your hard drive patch. It wont boot. MacDrive can't access the Mac Drive. I tried a few Linux live CDs and they can't detect the partition type and therefore can't read it. I know I can reach the terminal using the install disc but how do I access my local drive. What root do they appear on the disc or where are they mounted? I basically just need to copy files from one partition to another.

mc4 Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 OK, I can see my OSx partition but not others. Can I mount a FAT formatted partition? Using the disk utility to attempt a mount failed.

snackole Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Try copying the files you need to USB or Firewire drive using a different machine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13803-fixing-an-install-using-terminal/#findComment-87925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
