1) Click the terminal icon at the bottom left of the screen

2) Type "su" and press enter. Type "fdisk -l" and press enter
3) Take note of which one is the harddisk (It should read HPFS/NTFS under System
and have a much larger disk size). In this case the harddisk is /dev/sda1
4) When you mount a device you first enter the program to mount with (such as ntfs-
3g) then you enter the device (dev/sda1) then you enter where to mount it to
(/mnt/sda1).
5) Type "ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" and press enter (you have now mounted the
harddisk)
6) Looking at the result from "fdisk -l", take note of which is the usb drive. In
this case, the usb drive we want to use is /dev/sdc1.
7) Type "mount dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1" (you have now mounted the usb drive)
8) Now that the dirves are mounted you should be able to copy the data graphical as
illustrated above in "Data backup" (substitute /media/ for /mnt/). If you are
unable to copy the data graphically, below are the steps to copy data via terminal.
