Cant mount ext FAT32 HDD!
Help!
My crappy XP has crashed however I see my data through the beautiful eyes of Knoppix 3.8.1.
Now, I have an external USB 400 Gb HDD formatted as FAT32.
When I start Knoppix, it doesn't present an icon for this hdd on the desktop.
From the device list, it shows up as: Hard Disc (uba) [/mnt/uba]
however when I click on it, it gives me this error:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified.
Please check that the disk is entered correctly.
How do I get this ext HDD online so I can get my data off!! It's been days now and I've read up a lot on Knoppix but I'm not a linux expert so please help with easy-to-follow instructions.
I have another ext 80 Gb HDD but that is NTFS. Knoppix lets me read that one but I can't write to it so the 400 Gb FAT32 HDD is my only hope here!!
Thanks guys!!
