What command did you use knoppix should recognize the drive. Are you running from the CD or HD?
Does Knoppix support a Maxtor 120 GB hard drive? That seems to be the only problem I could not figure out for myself. I can't mount the drive. It is FAT32 without any operating system on it. Just storage. Any ideas?

Running from the CD only. Everything configures correctly with just
Knoppix wheelmouse
All, except the hdb5 120 GB hard drive
So how did you try to mount the drive???Originally Posted by dragon
I clicked on the icon on the KDE desktop.
Open a console window and type dmesg | less you will have the boot messages on the screen one page at a time there will be lines refering to the drives hda, hdb, etc.. this will tell you they were detected. If you do a mount in the same window this tells you the mounted file systems in use if hdb5 is not there then sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdb5 will mount the drive at the mount point /mnt/hdb5. You could also right click on the icon and choose properties and check that the icon actually refers to the proper device (/dev/hdb5).
Will give that a try and let you know the results. Thank you for the help!
did exactly as you said. Got the following error:
Wrong FS type, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems.
(I was wrong, it's hdb1)
I have a 40 GB drive that is partitioned into 10GB and 30GB with other op systems on them. I'm not surpirsed, but I had hoped that Knoppix would over come this problem. Suse 8.1 does the same thing. I was looking forward to eliminating the paid for op systems and going strictly linux in the future, if I can find one that is compatible with all my hardware.
Post the output of fdisk -l /dev/hdb so I see what partitions are on the drive.
OK. Results of fdisk -l /dev/hdb1
error: cannot open dev/hdb1
I checked under windows and the partition shows to be a FAT32 with the MBR style. Should be just another standard FAT32 drive. I don't understand it, unless Knoppix doesn't support larger hard drives. I'll go back and check the bios settings. I installed it using the Maxtor installation software. I'm wondering if there is a bios driver that loads at boot up to force the hard drive, or if it is truely recognized by the bios. That would make sense, but the motherboard is a K7s5a and should support it.
