hi,
I read on a website that knoppix has some tools for recovering/repairing windows. I would need something like chkdsk or scandisk. My windows is not starting anymore. So probably something in the boot sector is broken. Does anyone know this tools or am i on the wrong way??
thanks for your help!

dosfsck für FAT partitions.
for NTFS there is currently no tool available. ntfsck is still under development (http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html).
I have the same problem, but can't find a way to run "dosfsck".
I tried it like this: "dosfsck -afrt file:/mnt/hda*" - where * represents the numbers from 1-7 that knoppix gave my fat32-partitions.
I know i'm just a step from it, but can't see what i do wrong. I always get error "Open ....: no such file or directory". :cry:
Any1 can offer some help to a poor "Help-i-use-linux-for-the-first-time"-User?
Thx and Greetings
You need to mount that partition before running dosfsck.
ex:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
dosfsck <option> /dev/hda1 <option>
ex: to test and interactive repair of bad cluster in verbose mode
dosfsck -r -t /dev/hda1 -V
:D :D
