    Mounting HardDrive (Windows Folder?)

    Hey guys i need a bit of help here..
    I just booted knoppix from my USB (Kingston 2GB). The version is I think 5.1.1 or something.
    What i want i so be able to do is access my Windows folder. I checked in all the icons on my desktop and I can't find windows folder there.

    Here is what I have on my desktop:
    -Floppy
    -Hard Disk [sda1]
    -Hard Disk [sdb1]
    -KNOPPIX
    -Trash


    I really need to fingure this out, ultimately I want to get a hold of SAM file in system32.

    Thank you

    You wont get a drive icon called "windows" on the desktop, what you will see is the actual drive,
    in your case you are shown /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1

    This means that you have two SATA drives sda1 and sdb1 or possibly another memory stick.

    Click on the drives, they will open and display contents, you will be able to see the contents of the drive and find your windows drive.


    To be certain from a terminal post the output of

    fdisk -l

    (last character l as in "long")

    SAM files in windows are in /WINDOWS/system32/config//SAM for XP
    or /Windows/system32/config/SAM for Vista, there is a spelling change in Vista.
    If you want to change passwords install chntpw
