You are not making a mistake, the Kindles are dual-boot systems.

That will not work - different systems (Like a single computer that runs either WinSomething or WinXP - picked at boot time).

**BUT**
You can access the file system of the **other** bootable system from the one you happen to be in at the moment.

Let us first confirm that you are really in the 'Diag Mode' system -
* - put the device in 'Diag Mode'
* - login over the serial port
* - enter:
Code:
whoami
and paste here in a 'code' '/code' block (see above).
* - enter:
Code:
mount
and paste here in a 'code' '/code' block.
