Double installation of Mint

Hi carlos,

Show us the result of "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount"

Ok, so by the look of things you're running the Linux installed on /dev/hda3 and your other linux is installed on /dev/hda1. So to get the data out of this /dev/hda1, you need to mount the partition.

To do that open a terminal and type:

sudo mkdir /media/hda1
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1

Then you can access your partition in /media/hda1 and maybe your files in /media/hda1/home/carlos ? (copy them over to /home/carlos for instance).

Note: One other thing. You don't need to have 2 swap partitions.. you can use the same one for both installations... simply cause they're not going to use it at the same time anyway.

Good luck,
Clem

Dennis: the guide above is an excellent read. However, if you already have a partition for Bea and want to replace it with Bianca, then you don't need to do anything to your partitions. Just select "do it manually" and don't do anything.. click next. Then select the Bea partition for your / and the swap partition for your swap. This will result in installing Bianca where your Bea was.

Yes, that should be fine.

Good luck,
Clem
