Problem using USB bootable Linux to access original Linux

[omara007]

Hi folks

I am having some problems booting my linux ( CentOS 4.6, kernel is 2.6.9-11). The problem started after I played with the wireless driver (ipw2200) .. I made some changes to the network settings .. and now the NetworkManager hangs when I boot .. I tried to enter the Interactive booting to disable it .. but unfortunately it's not working with me when I press "I" once prompted for interactive booting !! .. dunno why !
Anyhow .. I tried to install some small bootable linux on my USB drive and it boots beautifully ..yet, I don't know what to be done in order to see my original CentOS partitions !!
Anyone has a clue ?

Mount your disk to be able to access it after booting from USB. Better yet use your original installlation CD and boot in rescue mode. Your linux installation will be on /mnt/sysimage. Google for "linux rescue" for more info.
