ok i have to correct the title: "dsl-n can't mount my harddisk" is right.

everytime i try to mount /mnt/hdb1 i get "I could not determine the filesystem and none was specified" ....

What now? please help me, hdb1 contains all my data.

how do you try to mount it?
did you try:
[code:1]sudo su
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1[/code:1]

if it is a SATA disk then it wont be "hdbX"

Is the fat32 hard drive attached to the same cable as the ntfs hard drive? Or is it on a seperate cable and perhaps attached to a seperate hard drive controller?

Will you post the /etc/fstab as generated by Knoppix so we can see what file types it thinks you have?

Yes, but if your 2.nd hard disk isn't mentioned in your fstab-file, then you have to mount it from terminal like I wrote before...

All other ways to mount can ONLY mount drives which are mentioned in your fstab-file.
