HDD/Video problems

OErjan:

thanks for the shell copying info. saves me loads. anyway, i tried your suggestion. i made the /mnt/hda1 dir and it was created, since i saw it when i used the command

dir /mnt

but when i tried mounting, here was what came up:

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

i don't think i'm using a scsi device, whatever that is...

[OErjan]

just a few things, ls -al = dir in linux (more info though).
btw what does mount say? that is just the comand mount that displays info on mounted filesystems...
btw have you got a "compressed" filesystem? that is not readable from linux afaik.
hmmm, could i see full output from dmesg? might help but... it is LOTS of text.

the mount /dev/hda2 vfat
command isnt working for a couple of reasons.

1. it's ntfs so, there's a mount command which allows NTFS.
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2

Also, since the fstab has been set up under knoppix, you'd probably just
mount -t ntfs /mnt/hda2
(crosses fingers.. )

I just dl'd knoppix 3.4 and it has captive NTFS, which means, that you run a program (click the penguin, and the captiveNTFS utility shows up in the menu)
It then searches for ntfs cdfs system files (it's handy if you have those files on a keychain drive for example) and then allows mounting NTFS drives in read/write mode.

update on using the captive NTFS support using knoppix 3.4


First, use the captive ntfs tool under penguin/utilities/ menus.



using the root terminal

mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1
(in my case, hdc is the ntfs drive, your's is hda2)

then, in the root terminal, you can start konqueror, and open up the ntfs drive and delete whatever you want.

OErjan:

when i typed "mount", here's what came out:

/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/cdrom on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=90992k)

automount(pid317) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=317,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

and for "dmesg":

i don't think i have a compressed drive. i never believed in those things.

no, i'm not using NTFS. when i migrated to win2k, i explicitly wanted to stay on the FAT32 filesystem.
