Re: Knoppix and a USB drive

["Chuck Lewis" <chuck.lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you saying the file system on the hard drive or the Iomega?

What I am trying to do is get the data that is relevant off of the drive and then replace the hard drive with he secondary hard drive that is in he PC.

Heck I'd like to be able to copy to the second HD but I couldn't get that to work. I figured that was because it was an actual HD and formatted that way. That is why I resorted to the Kingston and then Iomega deal.

Fun, fun :-)

Thanks !

Chuck

THe file system is broken and your actions may make it worse.  You 
should make a copy of it without modification (e.g. with dd) and then 
salvage what you can from that copy to a clean filesystem.  You should 
expect that some files are messed up.

Then reformat the drive to get an ok filesystem and only keep stuff on 
it you have elsewhere too.
