Writing 2 windows file systems after booting from Hard disk
Hi there - I'm new to knoppix so apologies for my ignorance.
I don't have Knopix installed on my HD, but boot from the
Knoppix image on a spare internal hard drive ( hdb1 ).
The boot CD is in my CDROM drive at startup and at the boot up prompt
I enter " knoppix fromhd=/dev/hdb1 " to boot from the spare partition.
The system then runs from the Knoppix file on my spare partition and
I can take the CD out and free up my CDROM DRIVE.
The question I want to ask is can I , and if so how, write to my
other ( windows) partition. I want to save files from when I work in
Knoppix onto my hard disk. Obviously it wont' let me save to hdb1
but can I make hda1 writeable. hda1 is readable as I can read all my windows data
from it. How can I make this writeable so I can save my work from Knoppix onto it.
If it is writeable, does it have any detrimental effects on the hard drive in question ?
Use Windows98 SE which is installed on hda1.
Thanks a lot for your help !

You mentioned Windows98SE and if so then hda1 probably is a FAT32 filesystem of which Knoppix has no problem both reading & writing. It is only NTFS used in WinNT/2000/XP/2003 that Knoppix has difficulties with.
So you should find on your Knoppix desktop a icon from hda1 & if you right click and go the properties, it has a devices section which has a "read-only" check box. Uncheck that check box & now file can be written to hda1.
If you have futher questions, please ask.
I hope this helps.
