How to (temporarily) mount drive installed in computer in a live Linux USB

Prepare by burning Linux on to a USB drive and booting in to it (on the computer that has the drive/s you want to access installed).

  1. Find the drive's path (something along the lines of /dev/nvme0n1p3): sudo fdisk -l
  2. Create a directory for mounting it: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/drive
  3. Mount it: sudo mount <drive_path> /mnt/drive
  4. Access it: cd /mnt/drive
