knoppix tools for recovering windows

[i3rutus]

hi,
I read on a website that knoppix has some tools for recovering/repairing windows. I would need something like chkdsk or scandisk. My windows is not starting anymore. So probably something in the boot sector is broken. Does anyone know this tools or am i on the wrong way??

thanks for your help!

dosfsck für FAT partitions.
for NTFS there is currently no tool available. ntfsck is still under development (http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/status.html).

I have the same problem, but can't find a way to run "dosfsck".

I tried it like this: "dosfsck -afrt file:/mnt/hda*" - where * represents the numbers from 1-7 that knoppix gave my fat32-partitions.

I know i'm just a step from it, but can't see what i do wrong. I always get error "Open ....: no such file or directory".

Any1 can offer some help to a poor "Help-i-use-linux-for-the-first-time"-User?

Thx and Greetings

You need to mount that partition before running dosfsck.
ex:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
dosfsck <option> /dev/hda1 <option>

ex: to test and interactive repair of bad cluster in verbose mode
dosfsck -r -t /dev/hda1 -V
