I recently got rid of a Linksys NSL device which I had a HD attached too for network storage, primarily because when I switched to Windows Vista I couldn't connect to the HD as a share anymore, and didn't want to bother with fixing the problem since I was the only one using it (figured I'd just be easier to connect it directly to my machine). The problem is Windows sees the drive as having a healthy partition with no default drive letter and it won't let me assign one. So I decided to break out Knoppix (which is what I normally use for non-gaming activities) to see if I could pull the data off onto my thumbdrive and then format the HD. Problem is I can see the data on the drive, can even copy the folder structure over, but whenever I try and touch a file I get an error that just says "Could not read (filename)". If I try to use the 'cp' command through a terminal window the command reports that it is "omitting" the directories and files on the HD.
I've adjusted the permissions and ownership to ensure I have full access to the files and ensured the mount point was read/write, but I still keep getting the same problem. Any ideas?
