Answer #5 points me to the Rescue FAQ, which I actually did read already but did not mention that I did so. If it matters, I also read http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/ and http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...obg-SysRecover. They all provided useful information, but unless I completely missed it, none seemed to addressed my specific issue -- a failure to mount my NTFS drive with the specific error messages that I described.

Please let me know if there are other resources I've missed or further information I can provide in order for someone to give me a suggestion on what to do next. Thanks again.
