the fstab table can be found in the directory etc so if you open a console
type su then press enter then type root password then press enter.
then cd to etc like this: cd /etc
then type kate fstab this will give you access to the fstab table.
have you tried from your user account thats if you are using kde
start menu -> my system -> storage media |
Gentlemen, thank all you for your efforts - I have classified this problem in the "too hard" category. Knoppix is touted as a rescue solution for NFTS partitions, but I cannot see how it can achieve this if you need a rocket scientist to feed you a string of cryptic command line instructions just to mount the disk! We did that in the late 60's! I have tried all the above solutions and none of them work. I tried using the ntfsmount command but it tells me the "Device or resourse is busy". Well unfortunetely I am busy too so I will call it a day right there and just hope that BartPE holds up under fire. I only wanted to have Knoppix as a solution of last resort in case BartPE could not read the partition. Maybe the next release of Knoppix will do it. I won't hold my breath. Thanks again to all you well meaning folks out there. Much appreciated!
