If you haven't installed to a hard drive I don't think you can save settings or files...But as I haven't yet accomplished this myself, I can't say for sure. Hey Boo, your wanted on the phone!

Yes it sure can. I am dual booting as we speak: Winblows 7 and Mint 14 I go to Computer and it shows my other NTFS partitions Now I havn't done this in a long with from live disk but it should work the same. Are you using Winblows 7? One time I remember trying this and Linux would not access the NTFS partitions. Something about permissions. I did some research and if you have Encryption or BitLocker enabled it may stop Linux from accessing the NTFS drives. Also, if you are running Winblows 8, that is a whole other story. I have not done a lot of research but something in 8 will stop you from even booting to a live disk

Nope I used the same pendrive a while ago and it was working. Now with the same system, nothing changed on the system and cant read the main windows partition. The pendrive linux might have updated something on itself at some point :S

oh, so it was working but now it isn't. the only way a pen drive Linux can update is if you tell it to update.... and you have to leave "persistance" (extra space when setting up the USB drive) so it has room for the updates. If you use persistance, you can actually install programs, updates, games and other stuff on the Live Disk.... I would suggest rebooting or creating the Live Disk on the USB drive again. Somethings wrong there.... Is there an error when you open a NTFS partition?

Go to a terminal ( command shell) and show me the output of: Code: mount Code: ls -l /media/S3A4031D502 Last edited by Gizmo; 3rd December, 2012 at 03:44 AM. |

if its already mounted, then try Code: umount

Just while I'm thinking - if you've suspended Windows, the NTFS partition is still "in-use" and the Linux drivers will refuse to mount it in case of corruption. Instead, you have to shutdown Windows so that Windows unmounts the NTFS partition. Same goes if you suspend Linux.

Interesting though. So you mean Winblows may have gone to sleep/hibernate and he restarted? I have actually done that before. Put Winblows to sleep and then accidentally restarted and it acted like it just woke-up from sleep again... like it never restarted. So if Windows thinks its sleeping and you restarted, then ran Live Disk with Linux, that is a possibility for your problem with mounting NTFS.

Not hair splitting (much), but sleep mode keeps everything in RAM, so you wouldn't have the opportunity to boot another OS. In hibernate, RAM contents are written to disk, so you do have the opportunity to boot another OS. Yes, I've used that trick frequently to boot between two different OSes and save the majority of boot time. Just remember that your file systems aren't unmounted, so don't try to write data into any file systems that would have been mounted by the hibernated OS. Network storage helps there I guess.

Thats crazy, I would never risk it, kinda scared I guess... But its an interesting idea to dual boot operating systems while in hibernation...

It works pretty to be honest - especially if you need to flip between OSes to get something done without any virtualisation.

I bet... I have been using a KVM switch to go between my server and my workstation. But when I need a Steam game on my dual boot workstation, I just mount the NTFS and copy the files to Linux.

It was working ok and I uploaded some shots that were on NTFS here on AOA. I remember linux saying something about updating and because I have 1GB of persistance or whatever that is called it worked. But afterwards I did not check for errors or anything assuming everything is ok. But hey NTFS is atm not accessible. |

It shows all the partitions, devices, etc. I definitely don't see that drive mounted in mount It will be hard to manually mount it in Live Disk because you probably don't have a password. And Root doesn't have a password.
