Knoppix won't detect hardware

[Twulf]

I suggest that you try the following.

1. Boot your computer from the Knoppix CD.
2. Connect your HDD to the SATA/IDE adapter and switch on the power of your HDD.
3. Plug in your USB adapter and open the PCMan Filemanager.
4. Tell us if there are new partitions to select.

Yes it worked!!! Thank you very much!!
