Greetings All,

I have just received a hard drive from a parent that has died (with all their critical files on it). The drive is NTFS and has one partition on it.

Brought up Knoppix, mounted hda1 and the Konqueror shows no files.

Going to the command line, cd /mnt/hda1 followed by dir gives an Input/output error.

Viewing the parition table in fdisk shows me the expected bootable NTFS partition.

I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I know there are files on the drive but can't see any of them. Any suggestions as to what course to take next would be greatly appreciated!


Regards,
