How to get my documents from the SSD card?

Hello,

My daughters Aspire one is not booting successfully. It just starts, but the OS is failing. The result is a black screen...

Before I re-install linpus again, I like to save some documents inside the Aspire.

I prepaired a Linpus Live Cd. Boot this CD with an external USB CD reader, which works fine.

So, I'm up and running, but the question is right now, how to get the data from the SSD card? I've tried several mount options, but without success.

Can anyone help me?

Best regards and thanks in advance.

Peter.

 

If you do
$ sudo fdisk -l
This will show you the storage devices in your system,
look for a line something like this (some numbers may vary)...
/dev/sda1 * 1 850 6827593+ 83 Linux
Then to mount this, you need a directory
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/mymount
And then to mount it there, do
$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mymount
(replacing sda1 with the results from above)
You can then "cd /mnt/mymount" to get at the files on that device.
