When i boot-up from knoppix-CD i can access my fat32 and ntfs partitions but when i install knoppix on to my linux ex2 partition on harddisk i am not able to see these partitions from knoppix, then again if i boot it from knoppix-CD i can access them again. What do i have to type down in shell to mount these partitions for example, or what else do i have to do?

Make sure your partitions are mounted in /etc/fstab.
I usually throw in a couple of spare partitions. vfat partitions are good in a dual boot system. This allows reloading Knoppix whenever I want without wiping out my data. The first time, I have to make the file system (mkfs) on the partition.
I often use Knoppix in dual boot systems. Set the mount point in /etc/fstab. Also I have to make sure I have created the corresponding mount point in my file system.
With Linux you get exactly what you want. No more, no less. Or rather what you told it to do. And you can put the mount point anywhere in your file system. Pick a good name so you can remember it is your vfat data. If you forget anything, no data! At least you won't have to reboot!
thanks for help people, i worked it out, i edited /etc/mtab & /etc/fstab and now it's working well
It isn't necessary to edit /etc/mtab.Originally Posted by Pex_boa
It will be generated automaticly and shows the status of all mounts.

Thanks Pex_boa for taking the time and posting how you got Linux fixed.Originally Posted by Pex_boa
after my first Knoppix-HDD install all mountpoints are defined in the fstab, but are commented out!Originally Posted by rla
just remove the comment or change also the mount parameters ant it worksCode:#/dev/hda3 ext3 noauto......
That is a safety feature. If a partition isn't mounted you can't wreck the data that's on it. I personally do not want Knoppix to mount my other partitions.Originally Posted by Nikonian
