First Time User needs help with finding hard drive

[jameshontishar]

I have just started to use knoppix and have a laptop installed with windows 2000 and only one hard drive when i boot to knoppix i click on the hard drive on the desktop and it says

could not mount device

the reported error was

mount: i could not determine the filesystem, type and none was specified

I wish I could get some help here whats the point of a forum if no one helps

Post the output of:
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda (replace /dev/hda with /dev/sda if sata disk)
cat /etc/fstab
ls -l /mnt
ls -l /dev/hda*

Can you mount with: sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 -t ntfs (replace ntfs with vfat if fdisk reports FAT32 for hda1)

You can open a konsole under kde for this, highlight command with output with mouse and paste here with middle mouse button.
