For example, i have this right now:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 853 6851691 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 854 7860 56283727+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3 7861 14946 56918295 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 7861 12115 34178256 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 12116 14824 21760011 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 14825 14946 979933+ 82 Linux swap
Am i able to do the following after booting from the knoppix cd?:
% mount /dev/hda /mnt/hda5
% chroot /mnt/hda5
I did try it, but i get some kind of 'bad superblocks or too many filesystems mounted error'.
I am able to mount partitions separately and chroot into them, like /dev/hda5, or /dev/hda6. Was wondering if i could do the whole drive as /dev/hda.
Thanks.
/edit: a thought just occured to me. It might be because of the windows partitions that it won't let me mount the whole drive. Am i right?
