A friend of mine brought her laptop to me with a crashed XP install. I've been able to boot to a KNOPPIX live cd, but when I try ato access ths laptop's hard drive I get the following message,

Unable to mount device "Error org.freedesktop.HAL.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure"

Does anyone have any ideas how to mount the hard drive or is it dead?
Thanks for the help
