Can't mount Mac hdd hfs+ journaled with knoppix live dvd

[koco]

Hi there guys,
I have problem here to mount sata drive from crashed macbook pro of my girlfriend too sad as she has lot files on it specially pics as she is photographer so i put it to my toshiba laptop and run live dvd knoppix as usually. Palimset disk util can see drive but marked as unrecognized so i tried mount it manually with mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda /home but it gave me error 'ount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog'

but nothing please help!!!!!!!??????!!!!!!

dmesg:

[ 787.944074] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock

You didn't say which version of Knoppix you are using, however you might try installing the hfsutils package. In a root terminal type:

aptitude update && aptitude install hfsutils

And then try mounting. More info about hfsutils can be found my typing:

man hfsutils

in a terminal. Good luck.
