    Can't mount HD

    Hello, total noob here.

    I'm having trouble accessing my computers main HD through Knoppix. I can access any external drives I connect, but when I try to access my computers main drive I get the following error message:

    The device /dev/sda2, is mounted.
    Forced to continue.
    Error opening partition device : Device or resource busy
    Failed to startup volume : Device or resource busy
    Couldn't mount device '/dev/sda2' : Device or resource busy
    Mount failed.
    Please check that the device is plugged correctly.

    But when I look at the device it says it is not mounted. How can I get to being able to access the drive? Thanks in advance!

    Are you trying to access and view the contents of a windows drive with ntfs filesystem?
