Ok. that helps.
Since mtab has /dev/cloop, you must be running from CD.
I'm surprised 'mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3' worked since (according to fstab), knoppix has not detected a /dev/hda3. Did you perhaps mean /dev/hda7?
It is not surprising that there is no hda3; normal linux drive designations for windows partitions are hda1 for the windows primary partition (usually windows C drive); hda2 for the entire windows extended partition and then the numbers start at hda5 for the logical drives within the windows extended partition (windows D,E etc).
You can change /dev/hda7 to mount automatically by changing the 'noauto' to 'auto'. Adding umask=000 will make it automatically read/write. But this change will be overwritten each time you boot unless you save your configuration somewhere using the 'save configuration' command in the 'knoppix' menu item.
IMPORTANT: Your drives hda1,hda5 and hda6 are ntfs fromat. You will NOT be able to write to any of these partitions from linux unless you use 'captive ntfs', direct writing to ntfs from linux will damage the ntfs filesystem. Hda1 probably contains windows (XP?), what are hda5 & 6? If these are just data drives, you can reformat them vfat (back up your data first!!!!!) then both windows and linux will be able to write to them.
Post the output from fdisk -l so we can see if there are partitions knoppix has not detected. and please respond to questions 1,2&3 so we will know exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
If it is to create a persistent home and save configuration onto /dev/hda7 (and install applications there using klik) you should be able to do that now by running 'create a persistent home' and 'save knoppix configuration' from the 'configure' submenu in the knoppix' menu item (click on the little fat penguin on the panel). You may have to mount /dev/hda7 manually first with 'mount -rw /dev/hda7' (it will auto amtically mount it on /mnt/hda7 as listed in fstab). Then boot 'knoppix home=scan myconfig=scan' to use you persistent home & saved config file. You should not have to change your fstab, knoppix will mount the partition read/write if it finds a persistent home there.
How big is /dev/hda7? if over 2.5 gig, you could do a hdinstall on it.

If that's all you want to do, 3 is probably the easiest way to do it, just make a persistent home. When you boot "home=scan" knoppix will automatically find it & mount it read/write and you will be able to add applications using klik.
