"Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified'
This is an error I get whenever I try to access my IDE hard drive through Knoppix 5.1.1(running off a CD).
I'm trying to save all the data on that drive by transfering it to a USB external. The filesystem is NFTS so I'm confused as to why it will not let me access it?
The strange thing is only a week ago I could browse the contents of this drive perfectly. Only when I connected the IDE drive to my new computer (whcih already has a SATA) does the IDE HDD seem impossible to access.. I am very new at Linux so if someone can help me through this process I'd appreciate it.
I really need the data on this HDD!
