Hi to the users of this forum,

I booted from the knoppix cd in order to start gparted, because I need to check my harddrive (cannot enter operating system XP. When I want to open gparted a pop up window opens and asks me for the administrative password (says: The application gparted-bin lets you modify essential parts of your system). The windows xp system had no administrative password in case it refers to this one. I dont know what password to enter in order to start gparted. When opening hda1 it says drive cannot be included, failed to mount dev/hda1, operation not supported, mount is denied because ntfs is unclean. suggestion is to boot windows, which is not possible.

For any hint or suggestion I am very grateful.

Harry
