First off, have you checked here ---\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/forum-2-26-0-0.html\nfor tips and tricks?\nOr have you checked the DSL faqs?\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ\nChecked at Linux Forums for answers?\nhttp://www.linuxforums.org/forum/\nChecked the how to's at Linux questions?\nhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/\nDid you read --\nhttp://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-dsl.html?ca=dgr-wikiaDSLLinux\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/applications.html\n\nThese are just a few of the resources the web has to offer. I didn't actually find the way to use DSL and write to files. As I may have overlooked something in my search, I'd recommend that you look those sites over carefully.\nIt may be that you cannot do what you wish to. You may need to switch to another distro, like fedora, ubuntu or any of several of others to accomplish what you want. DSL is, after all, meant to boot and run from a CD. There are limits.

can you tell us what you have tried so far to try and access it ? Also right click on my computer --> Manage and then go to disk management and tell us if you see it there.\n\nIf you need further help or w/e email me :)

You can't link to your local hard drive. Create a folder on your host called JavaScript and upload the JavaScript there...

uname -n  prints the network node hostname\nmount   mounts file systems\ndf -k  tells you about disk space availablity in kbytes

It should tell you on the front of the drive.  Should either have a sticker or be engraved.  Looking in your hardware configuration is not necessary or valid for the most part.  What if you have installed the wrong drivers?  Your hardware will list it under whatever you've installed - not what it actually is.

if you use Windows\nInsert your cd to cdrom drive, then go to explorer you can choose your cdrom drive to see the contents. If you cannot see anything maybe your files are hidden. Goto Tools -> Folder Option -> View tab. Choose Show hidden files and folders. Now something should show.\nIf you still can't see anything, you need to check your CDROM or your cd.

Assuming the hard drive is correctly installed, it should show up as a device in /dev. For example, if your first hard drive was /dev/hda, the second will likely be /dev/hdb.\n\nTake a look at /etc/fstab to see the device mappings. You'll probably see entries for /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, and so on. Those are the partitions on /dev/hda.\n\nSo, you need to locate which device file is your new hard disk, partition it, and then format it.\n\nOne way to locate the right device file is to just try /dev/hdb and so on as arguments to fdisk until you guess the right one. Another way is to do something like   dmesg | grep hd   and see what the system found when it booted.\n\nOnce you know that, the Linux Partitioning HOWTO should lead you through the rest.\nhttp://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/\n\nOnce you have partitioned and formatted the disk, you then need to mount it somewhere in your filesystem tree so you can use it. Where you mount it is really up to you. Once you've decided, make a directory in the appropriate place, and test mounting with something like\n\nmount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/newhd\n\nwhere reiserfs is the filesystem you chose when you formatted, /dev/hdb1 is the first partition of disk /dev/hdb, and /mnt/newhd is where to mount the disk.\n\nIf it works and you're happy, add an entry to /etc/fstab (cribbing from one of the existing ones and changing the path and device file) so it'll mount on startup.\n\nThe process for the DVD drive is much the same, except of course there's no partitioning and formatting. You locate which device it is (by trial and error or by examining dmesg or by using cdrecord -scanbus), then create a directory such as /mnt/dvdrom, and write an entry in /etc/fstab.

You might check your hosts file to see if things are amuck in there.  It's located at:\nC:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\n\nJust open it in notepad.

There is a folder called Temporary Internet files.  Maybe in documents & settings within the c drive.

if you mean C: on the same PC, you cannot map local drives and use them as shortcuts to drives on the same machine. You can create a *share* for a local drive to which other users can attach. You can, however, create a desktop shortcut (and give it any name you like) for your own use on your PC.

If you have Windows Home then it may not show.  Disk Mangament requires that you convert the disc volume to a dynamic disc, as well.\n\nWhat you -need- to do is learn how-to FDISK(search on google for a tutorial), a DOS (disk operating system) command.  You can access the command prompt via: Start --> Accessories --> Command Prompt.  You will need to create two primary paritions/volumes (the term is interchangeable).  You will need to install linux on the first parition and Windows on the second.  The FDISK command will also let you choose which parition is to be set to active.  You will have to set the first partition to Active to run linux, and the second one should be active whenever you wish to run Windows.\n\nGood luck!

Try www.geeks.com.  Look under hard drives.  Scroll to bottom of list under hard drive cases.

there are many tools available in market......\n\n1.. partition magic\n2.. Norton Ghost\n3.. Disk Manager\n\nBut the at last all are directly or indirectly using only one tool....\n\ntake any bootable win Cd\n\nand put command "fdisk".\n\ndefinately u will find out your solution.
