Thanks, Loyal. I kept getting an error "operation not permitted " anytime I
try to make changes to my hard disk.
The disk is already mounted- I used the GUI to mount. I have access to some
of my files, but others are locked as a result of whatever my husband did
yesterday. I can't seem to make any changes.

Let me first say what I think you asked as I am not clear:
1. I am running a live CD
2. I want to run a terminal to do command line activities against
my hard disk
If I am correct, this is relatively simple. First, to run a terminal.
BTW, it would help to know which live CD you are running. The terminal
program often has a link on the task bar. In the menu system for
gnome it is under "Applications->Accessories." Once you have your
terminal up and running, the next step is to get root access:
Ubuntu style: sudo su -
Redhat Style: su -
Next mount the disk:
1. create a directory where you will mount it.
mkdir /mnt
mkdir /mnt/disk
2. mount the disk
mount /dev/sdYX /mnt/disk
Y will be a letter such as a b c etc. If you only have one disk
SATA, it will be a. X is partition number from 1 to x. If you
only have one partition on a single SATA disk it would be
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk
Please note: you are root. Anything you do can kill things on your
disk so be extremely careful.
Regards
Loyal
