hi

I´m using KANOTIX live cd (now knoppix?).

Yesterday I used my external device to move some files from my computer to the device. It worked without any problems. Next time I tried to open my external device via KANOTIX, I got this errormessage:

"$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown. Failed to mount "/dev/sdb1":

Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action. Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the "safety remove hardware" icon in the windows taskbar then shutdown Windows Cleanly.

Choice 2: If you dont have wINDOWS you can choose the "force" option...."

I´m using Windows XP Home Edition.

I tried to rightclick on my external device icon and choose "safety remove", nothing happened.

Tried to restart computer and same thing there.

Can you help me?
