Re: Knoppix and a USB drive

It's a shot in the dark, but might the USB thumb drive be FAT/FAT32 and the
USB hard drive NTFS?

BTW if the HD is readable but Windows is hosed, you should be able to repair
or reinstall Windows without blowing away the data files as long as you
don't delete/recreate the hard drive partition.

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),



Any idea what is going on.



Additionally we had a LaCie NAS and I cannot get that connected either.



Oh what fun!



Chuck
