I double check on my knoppix 5.1.1, it runs kernel 2.6.19.

Just curious, on your shell script, the /dev/$i is mounted as read-only. So does that mean that the program chntpw still be able to write to the mount point /media/$i?

Hi Chip,
Sorry wrote this using knoppix 5.3.1 which uses ntfs-3g as default and therefore mouting ntfs partitions are rw.
Forr knoppix 5.1.1 install ntfs-3g

and change the following line

mount /dev/$i /media/$i 2>/dev/null

to read

mount -rw /dev$i /media$i 2>dev/null

this should mount all partitions with rw access.
