Code: Select all
kernel (hd0,1)/linuxmint/casper/vmlinuz file=/dev/sdb1/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw
initrd (hd0,1)/linuxmint/casper/initrd.gz
boot
PXE would've been a nice alternative..

It would've been a great catch.. but like I said, that's what I used for Daryna. For Elyssa (although I failed to mention it), I did use file=/dev/sdb1/preseed/mint.seed, yet it didn't work.file=/dev/sdb1/preseed/ubuntu.seed should be file=/dev/sdb1/preseed/mint.seed
Sometimes the only way to do this is to yank the hard drive and piggyback it into another computer, typically a desktop computer. Occasionally you can recover everything through a bootable CD, reinstalling the original OS. But too often this just overwrites the problem and destroys the very data you're trying to recover.jumbika wrote:Hello everybody, my old laptop will not boot properly after an upgrade. It freezes when it starts up. Is there any way to retrieve old data on the laptop hard drive? I think the upgrade was a Windows upgrade. My laptop is an old toshiba. The problem is I can't get into Windows, though I can get into CMOS. How do I get my old laptop to retrieve old data from hard drive?
I must agree with AK Dave and request that you start o new topic for a new problemAK Dave wrote:If you really want help, start a thread under an appropriate topic heading instead of performing thread necromancy on an unrelated topic.
