Post the command you entered to mount the drive.
I would do this:
Open a root terminal:
cd /mnt
ls

This will tell you what mount points you have. Then do a:
mount -a auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/? (replace the '?' with a mount point that you have listed in /mnt.)
If you get no errors then do a:
cd /mnt/?
ls

Post back with what happens.

BTW- the "Did not find valid FSINFO signature" error you see is caused by the attempted auto mount of a filesystem in fstab. If you still have problems post your fstab too please.

That's quite hilarious is it not- Knoppix wants to install itself everywhere!!
