So I then have to wipe the USB stick, boot up using a CD, edit the Syslinux.cfg file to replace lang=eng with lang-uk (to set up the correct keyboard for my laptop) and then "Install KNOPPIX to a flash disk" again.
Sorry for the late response.

Well from what I've read of your issue, you and I don't have exactly the same problem. I'm not sure what your setup was, but my hdd has xp installed and after creating a persistent file I could no longer access the files from that ntfs partition. However, if your other partition is not formatted to NTFS then I'm not sure if ntfsmount would work for you (I could be wrong).

You could try simply:

Code:
$su root
$mkdir /mnt/"name_of_mount" (no quotes)
$mount /dev/"local_hdd" /mnt/"name_of_mount"(for me it was sda1, also no quotes)
Just make sure you unmount the device by unmounting from pcman or:

Code:
$umount /mnt/"name_of_mount"
Hope this helps
