Accessing partitions in F21(32 bit) from F20(64 bit)
Thanks for the enlightenment, so I rephrased my original question (given below for reference). My main problem is that I am using an old laptop, and thought that by replacing the hard-disk with an SSD I can give it a new life. So:
- I installed F21(32 bit) on the SSD
- I had installed F20(64 bit) in the old hard disk
- I am now booted using the old hard disk
- I want to access and copy some docs in the SSD to my old hard disk
As you see, I just reversed my decision to upgrade my laptop and want some files back. Now the problem is that when I connect the SSD via the USB port (using an adapter) I see only 524MB of files instead of the full 120GB. It only shows the boot files, and not the /home folder which I want.
"I had just installed the 32 bit version of F21 in my Lenovo laptop, after replacing the old hard disk which had 64 bit F20. I now want to copy the documents in the old hard disk to my laptop, but the file manager does not see the files in the 64 bit partitions. My question is, is there any package I can install to read the 64 bit partition, or do I have to reinstall the old hard disk in the laptop then boot into F20 and then copy the files to the 32 bit partition?"
You have to boot from F20_64 bit (old hard disk) to view/copy data into a new machine. If your laptops processor is a 64 bit one, why don't you install a 64 bit F21 in the new hard disk?
@anishjp - that's wrong. Like @alex-sommerfeldt said, there are no 64 bit partitions.
@FranciscoD_: I know that there are no 64 bit partitions. I didn't say anything about 64 bit partitions in my reply.
What I meant was that there was no need to use a 64bit OS either, or an older OS. The files should be accessible from any OS that supports the partition file system type.
