Perhaps you can try ntfsfix : http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsfix.8.html __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.

If you are going to attempt to access the ntfs volume you should have root/admin rights.

1. Get Root/Admin

Code:

sudo su

2. to identify ntfs

Code:

cat /etc/fstab <enter>

3. To mount ntfs (from the location determined from step 2)

Code:

ntfs-3g /dev/(your ntfs drive, ex. sda1, hda1) /media/(your drive designation)

4. When complete don't forget to unmount the drive.

Code:

umount /media/(your drive designation)

[offtopic]You might also try a virus scan with clamscan -i -r, once you have access to the ntfs. Make sure you update it first. You can choose remove (delete) as an option don't believe there is a rename option. Write down locations of potential threats if you don't remove. check the man clamscan for details.[/offtopic]

Caution: This only works on knoppix 5.1.1 and later.
