Which Knoppix version do you use? When I got such an error message I opened a terminal and entered Code: sudo mkdir /media/myHdd sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/myHdd Then I got an explanation what went wrong and what I had to do next. Maybe you have to use another partition instead of /dev/sda1. You can get a list of the available partitions by executing Code: sudo fdisk -l Reply With Quote 03-04-2010,10:34 PM #3 cha0sunity View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message Junior Member Join Date Mar 2010 Posts 2 I'm using KNOPPIX 6. I did what you said and manually mounted the hdd. I had to force mount it because XP "improperly" shut down and the system was still showing that it was active. After force mounting it i was able to get to the data on it. It's slow going but I'm pulling it off now. Thanks for the help. -- cha0s Reply With Quote « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Similar Th

Did you notice that you did not mention the fact that the device had an NTFS file system on it? Didn't you know or did you try to make it more difficult to people to help you? Well it is somewhere in that long message, but how can one know that the error message did guess it right when

Unable t o mount HD w/knoppix I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere. I have a Toshiba Satellite a105-s2194. The keyboard and touch pad stopped working in XP after I edited my registry to fix my dvd burner. I I checked the BIOS and everything is as it should be. I ran chkdsk from the windows recovery console. It fixed a few problems but not the touchpad/keyboard issue. XP loads fine I just can't use it w/o a keyboard or mouse. I downloaded knoppix hoping to be able to recover my files. Everything works great until I try to mount my HD which brings back: unable to mount device org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure I'm very new to linux and am not sure what to do next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
