It looks like my system as the Knoppix install as hda5. I was able to mount if find but when I tried

lilo -v -C /mnt/hda5/etc/lilo.conf.....etc

The system returned "/mnt/hda5/etc/lilo.conf no such file or directory"

The really strange part is that if I

cat /mnt/hda5/etc/lilo.conf

I get a full read out of the file and ls sees it too. Any ideas?

Edits: I also do not see the FAT data partition as being available at all for mounting, and there is an hda4 that is unmountable for some reason (the system says it doesn't understand the file system type).

Edit: I ran gpart and it shows the two Windows NTFS partitions, and a DOS partition, but then shows a 4th partition as being unused - presumably this is the Linux (or was!)

Looks like I trashed my partition table pretty good eh? I had quite a few hours in my Knoppix HD installation so I'd like to recover if it possible but this look bleak, doesn't it? I'm more concerned about recovering the first of the Windows XP partitions since the school customized that copy of Windows quite a bit. Would the Windows rescue disk and FixMBR be likely to at least get me back into Windows at this stage to cover that partition or am I hosed?
