Hi, Some Linux based software solutions like Cyberoam Gateway uses Filesystem security as I tried to mount its partition with LiveCD but failed. I want to know how they do it & how I can mount & see the contents of the partitions. Thanks & regards, Ravinder Singh

"fdisk -l" will show you a list of partitions "man mount" will show you how to use the mount command which, unsurprisingly, mounts partitions. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555375 How to ask a question.

Kind of the point of file security isn't it? "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
