Mount your hard drive (the command would look something like this, assuming you're using ext3 and the drive was hda partition 1) you need to first md /drive to make the mount point, then : mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/hda1 /drive Now cd /drive/var/log check boot.log and messages.log to see what kind of errors you're coming across.
