Whn I tried to mount the QuickiDrive I got a error mssg that said :mount:no medimun found" what does this mean and how can it be corrected?

Oh, I thought we were leaving vowels out of our posts now.
Knoppix mounts partitions as read only by default for safety reasons. Point to the partition icon and right click and use the actions sub-menu to make the partition read-write.

when I rebooted w/ Knoppix and tried to mount the Quickdrive i revd an error message saying and I quote " I could not determine the filesystem type and none was specified" I saw on the properties tab thst the file system was automatic.
btw - I unchecked the read-only tab and made the drive read/write
