Re: Knoppix and a USB drive

Hi Folks,



Got a PC in with the C: drive hosed to Windows but readable with
Knoppix.



I can attach a USB memory (Kingston) stick to it can copy stuff to that
just fine by simply right clicking on its icon and selecting
Actions/Change read write mode. Problem is some subdirectories are WAY
too big for this.



So I attach a USB HDD (Iomega) to it and do the same thing and get
"cannot create folder". So I right clicked on if and hit Properties and
made sure it was read/write for all "users" and also unchecked the Read
only box (even though I had to do NONE of this with the Kingston),


THe file system is broken and your actions may make it worse. You should make a copy of it without modification (e.g. with dd) and then salvage what you can from that copy to a clean filesystem. You should expect that some files are messed up.

Then reformat the drive to get an ok filesystem and only keep stuff on it you have elsewhere too.
