Hi,
I just installed Knoppix 5.0.1 and i'm pretty mucha a total noobs when it comes to Linux.

I tried to access my other NTFS partitions through the hard drive shortcuts on the desktop, but it gives me this error for all of them:

"Could not mount device.

The error reported was:

Error opening partition device : Permission denied.

Failed to startup volume : Permission denied.

Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda6' : Permission denied.

Mount failed."

I'm sure this must be the easiest problem to fix, i'm just an idiot. If the solution involves complicated stuff, such as adding stuff to my etc/fstab or the like, I need explicit instructions, not just a narrow idea of what I have to do.

Can anybody help?
