I would like to use DSL as part of my system recovery toolset since it is much lighter than Knoppix.

I can't seem to mount hard drives while running DSL. I open a terminal and do:

sudo mkdir /mnt/windows
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

Then I get an error: "Bad superblock or unknown fs type"

What am I doing wrong? Wrong /dev/hd*?

Probably. Try "dmesg | grep hd" to see which partitions are available..

You may have to load the ntfs module first. Also bear in mind that ntfs support may not be 100% - if you're not going to write to the disk, you can add "-o ro" to the command.

Thank you very much. I only need to read from the drives for data restoration purposes. I will give it another shot.

Have a good week.
