Ubuntu Linux, ubuntu desktop, Linux operating system, ubuntu guide

I have installed ubuntu 11.10 this month after verifying various comments about the OS version stability.

I have already installed ubuntu 11.04 in my notebook. So in this article I am describing method of taking the backup old installation files and doing the fresh install and restoring it.

After boot from live cd, open the terminal and type

#sudo bash

For root login.The type

#mount

command for check the device details

As per the second screen shot you can easily understand that my  older installation is on /dev/sda6 and remainig are windows partition.

Then I have created the folder called test and mounted the windows partition on it.

After that I have created folder ‘test1″ for mount the Linux partition on it, Please refer the above screen shot. Then copy the /home/sahab  into the windows mounted directory test.
