My fix
Here's what I've done:
Create an "autostart" directory in /home/knoppix/.config
Create a "fix-fstab.desktop" file in /home/knoppix/.config/autostart:
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=fix-fstab
Comment=fix-fstab
Type=Application
Exec=/home/knoppix/.config/autostart/fix-fstab.sh
Terminal=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Create a "fix-fstab.sh" file in /home/knoppix/.config/autostart:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo rebuildfstab -r
Make the fix-fstab.sh file executable:
Code:
$ chmod +x fix-fstab.sh

an interseting solution
I have Knoppix installed on an external USB drive. Also had it installed on a USB flash but later removed most files, but the
syslinux file is still there. As with others, my internal Windows HD is not accessable when I boot Knoppix from the
external USB HD. I tried to mount the HD, as per the instructions posted her, but to no avail.
However, I found a trick that seems to work for me. After booting from the USB drive, I then install the USB KEY that has the
syslinux file. After it is mounted, I perform an fdisk-l to see all the disk devices. Then I unmount the USB KEY and 99% of
the time the internal hard drive (Windows) is now mounted and usable. Why? I have no idea. I am a real
newbie to Linux.
As the man says, DO NOT WRITE to the NTFS disk. You will probably make is unusable in Windows.

Unable to mount device

So tried to mount it various ways and then used the command:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force
which worked fine.
Step 2:
Tried to get the USB hard drive to be recognised so I could copy the data off the drive, so again:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb /media/sdb -o force
which worked. Copied all the information off the internal drive and then put the usb drive into my windows machine (didnt dismount). When added it recognises a usb mass storage device but doesnt appear in my computer. Also I tried remounting it in knoppix but I get the error 'NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults......'
any ideas?
What commend would you use before disconnecting the USB Hard drive?
thanks
