Hello! I am VERY new to knoppix and linux in general. I am trying to get data off a corrupt NTFS IDE drive that I had in a Windows XP machine. I cannot mount the drive because I get this error:
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
So I did some searching around the web and found some things to try in the root. this is what I tried, and this is the result I got:
root@2[knoppix]# fsck /check/hbd1
fsck 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
e2fsck 1.39-WIP (09-Apr-2006)
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /check/hbd1
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
No idea what to try now. Like I said, this is the first time Im using Knoppix and Linux in general. I just need the data off this drive. It doesnt show up in Windows, but it does show up in the BIOS.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
