I have a nvidia graphis card with tv-out. When the tv-out cable is plugged in i get the same message. If i unplug the tv-out cable the message disapers!
Perhaps this is the problem!

I asume that the problem is that for some reason there's not created a proper /etc/fstab file.
(Perhaps hda was unpluged when you installed knoppix.)
For eatch partition you have to create a line in /etc/fstab witch looks like this:
Code:
#Partition #Mountpoint #Filesystem #Options
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
Exept for /devhda2 because it's the contanor for hda5 to hda8
So hda3 would look like this:
Code:
/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
As you can see you only have to change the partition and the mount point.
The mount point is a dictory, and that must exist, else mounting fails!

What Graphis card do you have?

What are you trying to do exacley?
Normal users on a system usaely only have write access to there home directory. /home/username
This is to protect the system, so useres can't delete system files
You can change rightes to a file or dictory with the command chmod and change ownership with chown[/b]

I have an Intel D845GVAD2 motherboard with integrated graphics and no other graphic card but i do have an pinnacle tvtuner card but that is also not in use nowadays
I am not trying to do something indifferent but i do want read-write access on my linux partition as user knoppix,till now i am able to write on my hard disk only when i login as root and that to after using the remount command each time but i want to have read-write access on my hard disk so as i can normally work in knoppix as i do in windows(creating files,directories saving my work on it). i am able to read but am unable even to create a file on disk and want your help doing it.
