    How rescue Windows Partitions with K3B?

    First, I´m an absolute Knoppix beginner, so my questions are probably very stupid (sorry, even the faq´s gave me no answer).
    My problem is, that I have no acces in K3B to my windows files to make a backup on cd. Even if the hda1 is mountet by cklickig on the hda1 icon on the desktop, I have no access unter K3B. If I try to paste and copy the hda1, I only get the "Einrichtungsdatei", not the files.
    Under Desktop-Konqueror acces is possible witout problems.
    Probably a mounting problem ??
    My fstab looks like this: "/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,user,exec,ro,unmask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=kno ppix 00"
    I need an "idiot`s guide" for mounting an windows hd unter Knoppix or a step-by-step help for my problem.
    Thanks a lot.

    Re: restoring windows partition with k3b

    Hi!

    Start Konsole and mount the windows partition in it:
    Alt+F2 -> konsole

    mount /mnt/hda1

    That should show all of the files in /dev/hda1 in directory /mnt/hda1. If not, there is some problems accessing the device.

    You can also check, if the partition is mounted by looking at /etc/mtab:

    cat /etc/mtab

    That should show your windows partition in the list now.

    Then, start k3b, add your files and burn it.

    If you have access to a Linux or Windows vfat partition, you could make an ISO image of the files before burning. That is recommended.

    It's posieble the line"/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,user,exec,ro,unmask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=kno ppix 00" isn't in fstab. Than I think beter is /dev/hda1 /dev/hda1 how root in xterm or console alt+F2.

    Hi,
    a part of the problem is solved!
    I have to access the windows files in K3B via root/mnt/ hda1, not viadesktop/ hda1. Mounting was not the problem, mounting the hda1 on the desktop ( doubleclick or rightclick/ menu/ mount device ) works fine.
    A last problem remains (but the biggest) :
    How can I burn my windows files to disk with only one CDRW Drive ( with Knoppix CD in ?????)
    Help!

    You have several choices. If you have a hefty amount of ram (say 1 gig or more), then you can actually load knoppix into ram and then eject the disk. You do it with the following cheat code.
    Code:
    knoppix toram
    If you don't have that much ram, then you can copy it to your hd and run it from there with the following cheat code
    Code:
    tohd=/dev/hda1
    If you are using NTFS, this second option won't work and should not be tried.
