Well, I just installed Knoppix to my hd.

1. Before I installed, booting from the CD, I could see and execute certain files such as mp3, and anything that is recognized by knoppix on windows drives. But after I installed it to hd, via debian old installer way(before, I tried the knoppix cd way which still recognized the drives and files in it), files:/mnt/hda1 and hda5 is empty. They are my C and D drive for Windows. They are NTFS. I know the files are there because I still boot into windows XP. However, is there someway of getting knoppix/debian to recognize it, and have it in read only mode, so I cannot wipe any valuable information?

2. What software for debian would be great for .WMV and .WMA multimedia formats?

Thanks
