If I am reading this correctly then you have installed knoppix to hda1 and the swap to hda2 if this is the case then:

1. Boot from CD open a console window (clam shell icon on the taskbar)

2. While in the console window sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

3. Then still in console window sudo gvim /mnt/hda1/etc/fstab

4. Edit the file removing the # from in front of the lines:

Code:
#/dev/hda1  /  ext3  defaults,errors=remount-ro  0  1
#/dev/hda2  none  swap  sw  0  0
5. Add a # to the front of these lines:

Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0
6. Save the file and reboot and everything should work.

If these are not the correct partitions then post the output of sudo fdsik -l /dev/hda from a CD boot so I can see the partitions on the drive.
