I need to edit some of my Windows partitions on a RAID 0 array, but I'm having a problem where Knoppix seems to recognize and mount them [aka I can open various files from the partitions] but neither GParted or QTparted will properly reconize them at all.
I'm using the Asus A8N-E motherboard which uses the nForce4 Ultra chipset and built-in NVRAID utility. From what I can tell from the boot process the RAID array appears as a SCSI device.
Below is the information I've gathered about the problem. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
Knoppix seems to have found my array...
But listing the partitions doesn't exactly work out so great.Code:knoppix@Knoppix:~$ ls -lsa /dev/mapper/ total 0 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 180 Jul 15 00:03 . 0 drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 14180 Jul 15 00:03 .. 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 63 Jul 15 00:03 control 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 Jul 15 00:30 nvidia_bbegijeb 0 brw-rw---- 1 knoppix disk 254, 1 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb1 0 brw-rw---- 1 knoppix disk 254, 2 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb2 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 3 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb3 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 4 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb5 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 5 Jul 15 00:03 nvidia_bbegijeb6
Every time I even click on a disk using QTparted I get a dialog box "Critical error during ped_disk_new" and this prints in the consoleCode:knoppix@Knoppix:~$ fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb Cannot open /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb knoppix@Knoppix:~$ fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb1 Disk /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbegijeb1: 21.4 GB, 21476173824 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes This doesn't look like a partition table Probably you selected the wrong device.

And my lspci -v for good measureCode:Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk! A bug has been detected in GNU Parted.
