Hello. This isn't a Debian question, per se, but the depth of knowledge on this mailing list is quite humbling.
I have an XP system that had a trojan file/program that I couldn't delete from Windoze. So I booted Knoppix and when Knoppix mounted the local filesystem, it mounted it read-only. Since I wanted to rename that trojan, I remounted the ntfs as read-write: # mount -o remount,ro /mnt/hda2 The /mnt/hda2 filesystem was fine but it still wouldn't let me rename the trojan. So I rebooted the system (with the intention of going back into Windoze) but I get a disk error and so Windoze won't come up. I get this when the system tries to boot Windoze: A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart So I put rebooted Knoppix again and now Knoppix boots fine but it won't let me mount /dev/hda2. I don't have the exact message in front of me but basically it said that the filesystem was corrupt or that there was a bad boot block. I have a disk image from about 2 months ago and can restore that - but I'd REALLY like the opportunity to get some data off of this disk before I wipe it. My family has some recent stuff on there that I'd like to be able to recover. Does anyone have any guidance for me for making the filesystem mountable and/or bootable? If I can mount it from Knoppix I know that I can copy the data elsewhere before I restore the disk image.
