OK, HDD is in Slave position on Primary IDE controller. It is coming up on the desktop now as Hard Disk [hdd] no partitions are showing. when I hover the mouse over the hdd icon it shows the following...

Name: hdd
Type: Desktop Config File
Size: 557B
Owner: knoppix - knoppix
Permissions: -rw-r--r--
___________________
Name: Hard Disk [hdd]
Type: Device
Device: /dev/hdd
File System: auto
Mount Point: media/hdd
Writable: No

Hope this helps, and my apologies for not being more clear earlier, as I said, this is my first shot with linux/knoppix.
If it's not showing a partition, is there an app in knoppix similar to chkdsk in MS?
