Replace the ?? with the drive letter and partition number of the partition to be formatted. And QTparted does not IIRC support reiserfs at this moment.
uhm..hrm ![Wink](images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Good question on all of that. All I did was run the knoppix HD install (After partitioning the drive using qtparted) its hda7 I believe. I was just trying to access it through the desktop icon same as I did for the other drive.
I used qtparted to format hda5 as reiserfs (it supports ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs..or xtfs whichever that other one is)I was only using the gui..but I also tried going through the shell (using CD) and I could get there but not change anything on the drive.

I'll double check it though.
I did double check, I was using the description not the pc name.. I tried running the command smb://MattsPC (thats the actual name of the xp box) and it just came back saying it couldn't find it..
is there any hope?

Tey typeing all CAPS for hte name. For me that would be smb://HOMEONE for my first PC

nada no such directory. I even booted into root user and changed the smb.conf file to set it to the right work group (saw that on another website somewhere) and then tried running the samba server but that doesn't seem to help/work
when I run it it sits there about 20 seconds saying starting samba server then disappers.
I just rebooted into her knoppix profile and used the konsole to type in all caps no good. Tried the root shell, typed in the root password and the window pops up and closes right away (any idea why that would have happened?)

1. You don't need the samba server running, thats for sharing your files.
2. You shouldn't need to change the workgroup. I didn't.
3. Try typing smb into knoquer (how do you spell it?)

well its late for me, if you have any more ideas, please leave them, I'll check them in the morning and let you know if they worked here's a current summary of the issues i'm having.
My PC
xp home
sygate personal firewall
ICS
network printer
backed up files for fiance
her PC
knoppix on the HD, gets net through my PC as well as printer
issues (in order of importance)
1) Printer sharing - SMB does not seem to be working
2) Root window no longer functions - rebooted as root user and then made some changes to smb.conf file (as per another websites instructions for file and printer sharing with samba and xp)attempted to configure the lisa daemon using the guide, got it configured but it never seemed to work, also changed the permissions of the etc directory to include write permissions for 'group' (as I could not edit the smb.conf file as the knoppix user) returned to knoppix user account to find the root window closing as soon as I open it, and I still can't save files in the etc group (I applied to permissions to all sub directories and files)
3)File sharing - need to retrieve her backed up files off my xp box and put them on her linux box.
4)Desktop woes. Screen at 1024x768. WHen resized using ctrl-alt and either + or -(only method that seems to work) the screen resizes but desktop remains large, effect is similar to panning around an image that is larger then your viewing area (when you reach the edges the desktop scrolls in that direction, to the limit of 1024x76![Cool](images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
any help is always appreciated..working or not I learn something, thanx again!
