You may get more helpful answers when you provide details pertaining
to your problem, desktop (gnome,kde,..), command used, exact error messages,..
vendor release (10.x, 2006, 2007).

If running Mandriva, you could include /etc/product.id, break the line
in half for posting.
Other Distributiion have /etc/*release or /etc/*verision
or try the command lsb_release -a

Open up your computer and take out the hard drive. remove the cover screws
and lift it and look at the disc.
If it has a third disc you can look at that at the same time.
;-)
Otherwise ls, find, df, du,....

Try konqueror. It can be used to view local files, websites, etc, with
a number of user interfaces to choose from.

Can you see a 'Home' icon on your Mandriva desktop?

I use FileRunner too. Just wish they'd fix it and XWC for large files. XWC
just won't display them. Fillerrunner crashes if you try and go there.

I use mc as my preferred file manager (it runs in a console). There are
several file managers to choose from - but Mandriva usually defaults to
using Konqueror in file-manager mode, and that's what runs if you click on
the 'home' icon on the KDE desktop.

Just do not miss any bits. They tend to fall off the platter when you
open it, and must be replaced correctly for it to work.

If you don't want to bother putting all the screws back
together, just get some very strong magnets to hold the case
together. :-) :-)

(Please don't actually try that!)

I don't believe the case is magnetic.
The magnets inside the disk drive are
strong enough to hurt you though.

Maybe not the way you think.
If you take out the 2 magnets, don't get
your fingers between them.
They come together pretty violently.

Would you recommend a quick clean while you're in
there? Would a rinse under the tap with a bit of
washing-up liquid (to shift the stubborn marks) be
OK?
