I've never personally seen a case where the hard disks could be accessed from windows but not Knoppix, but you really are not giving us any information about the system and seem to want us to tease the facts from you. OK. Is this some non standard disk interface, or is it normal IDE? You don't have these disks running in a raid array do you? (A software based raid sysytem rather than a true hardware raid array requires special drivers be loaded in the computer to access the drive, and most manufacturers only release their special drivers for Windows). Have you any insight on what was failing after 15 minutes (after all, it sounds like the computer is OK, if it runs fine under Knoppix)? What is the hardware (motherboard, cpu, memory, any special interface cards)?
