Disable automounting of hard disks on ubuntu live












4














I have an ubuntu live USB. When I try to boot it on a computer with a SATA hard disk, it automounts the hard disk and that would seem to corrupt the windows 7 installation which is on the hard disk.



I do not want to mount the hard disk, i just need to hit a few dd commands on it...



Is there any way I could configure the Ubuntu live OS to not automount hard disks at startup ?

          I know this is a really old question, but maybe this can still help someone.



          What might possibly work (not yet tested!) is to manually add systemd.mask=udisks2 to the kernel commandline, either via directly editing the live image, or via GRUB commandline.
