install knoppix --> windows partition vanishes!
Pre knoppix installation days:
knoppix starts up, and i can access the windows partition on this drive (hda1) without any problems... i can get to all my files like my mp3s and such without any worry.
------------------------------------
I decide to install knoppix
knoppix starts up, the icon of my mounted windows partition on the desktop has vanished... i can no longer get to it unless im accessing it as the root.. ive tried SOOOO hard to change the permissions so i could access it as the user Knoppix but to no avail... please help?
ive looked everywhere, read this freakin linux book 20 times and hung around for hours in IRC channels...

You will have to edit the file /etc/fstab as root in as console window ( the clam shell icon in the taskbar ).
Open the window then su then enter key and enter the root password. Then in the root console gvim /etc/fstab and enter to open the file for editing use the arrow key to move down the file to the line that starts with #/dev/hda1 and use the delete key to remove the # and save the file. You will now be able to right click on the desktop and create a link to the drive with create new -> hard drive use the /dev/hda1 for device in the device tab save the link and you will be able to access the drive.
