    Absolute newbie here...can't write to XP NTFS volume

    Hi there, and thanks for bearing with my novice questions (I'm a newbie of about 10 minutes now).

    I made a mistake and renamed a seemingly critical file in my XP windows/system32 directory ("msgina.dll". I thought Windows would get it out of the i386 directory...nope! It just says I have to talk to my system administrator. Funny, I'm the system administrator as this is my personal PC).

    I got knoppix 3.7 to boot successfully (pretty!), and I'm just trying to rename the msginaOLD.dll back to the original msgina.dll. I can't get the volume to be writeable, despite having tried via the Actions menu when I right-click on hda1. I keep getting the message:

    "The remount command failed. Maybe there is another process accessing the filesystem currently."

    Ideas? Thanks!

    Okay...I've found the "Captive NTFS" utility, but it can't seem to find "ntoskrnl.exe." At least it says it can't find it before it scans for it and then just closes the window after the scan.

    thanks...

    That one is located in system32. You are looking for ntoskrnl and not ntoskrnl.exe.
