Igotproblems

I'm using knoppix 3.7 from the cd, and my hard drive and my wireless internet card are not even recognized.

My hard drive is a Western Digital, WDC-WD800JD (SATA)

Im wirelessly connected to my internet through a netgear router and there is a airlink pci card in my computer, the model # is: AWLH3025.

i try to type /mnt/hda1 but that doesnt work.

thnx in advance

then try browsing to it.

IT says it cant find it. I have no clue what to do.

It says something like "Mount: Can't find! in etc/fstab or etc/mstab"

sdousley

ok, so try:

the first command works - mkdir /mnt/hda1; although when i type the second one it says

/dev/hda1: Input/Output error
Mount: You must specify the filesystem type

thnx for all your help so far!

Is there SATA support by default in Knoppix? Do you need to prompt for a module load at boot?

sdousley

ok, instead of
try:
if the drive's fat£", or if it's ntfs, try:
Also, i didn't notice at first that it was a SATA drive, i am not 100% sure as to the compatibility between knoppix and SATA as yet.

That too didnt work, i guess its just the fact that it is a SATA drive. O well

But do u know how i could fix my wireless card too?
