i am running knoppix 3.6 live
the thing boots properly and all but does not mount the
sata hd even the usb pen drive is not detected when i plug it in.
i tried to see if there are mount points in /mnt/ but there were none.
then i tried to
$fdisk -l
but the drives were not listed
i checked /dev/ and i found 'sda'
and all the drives
but there is lock associated with its icon
it says i do not have permissions to read the ....
what should i do to mount the disk

fdisk -l should display sata drives. try 'sudo fdisk -l'.

its strange. if fdisk is not showing sata drives then how come /dev folder have icons for sata drive? launch konqueror with root permissions and check /dev folder in it.

sudo konqueror

i have changed the permissions of all the drives to read , write and execute using
$sudo konqueror
as u said still
$sudo fdisk -l
does not give me the list

PS:the /dev/ also has a lot of icons with labels....sdb,sdc....

it means Knoppix 3.6 is not recognizing SATA disks. many Linux installers' kernels don't yet support many Serial ATA chipsets. try latest version of Knoppix. i think its 5.0
