I'm on the road, in the middle of nowhere.

I've got a hard drive issue.

I'd like to run the f15 Live ISO from a USB drive. No problem there.

I DO NOT want it to mount the hard drive. i'd like it unmounted so
that I can perform disk tests and stuff on it.

I know about rescue disks. I don't have enough bandwidth to download one.

How do i run a Live ISO so that it doesn't mount the hard drive ?

Thanks

why should a live-cd mount any hard-disk without interaction?
there is nothing to do, sipmly boot!

If it mounts the drive (and I'm not sure that it does), just umount it.

You could press a (if you using grub) then u should pass some parameters

To make hard disk maintenance operations I prefer using Knoppix or
Slax distros. I found them lighter and easier to use.
