Hi all
I've run into a problem: the win98 partition on my wife's machine
seems fried with a very unhelpful error message. I can access it in
safe mode which is not very helpful because I want to back up the info
from there onto a CD and safe mode doesn't recognise the cd-drive (!).
So, my next option is to reach across the Debian/windows divide and
bring the directories needed into the Debian partition. I used to be
able to do this kind of thing using Slackware and with root
permissions could access the windows partition quite readily. However,
Debian just isn't picking up anything at all to do with the windows
partition so I can't access it from within Deb.
Is there a way I can do this, because if I run the windows setup (like
the error message on windows is telling me to do) it'll toast the
windows and the Debian partitions and lose everything.
Any thoughts/help/advice? Please!
Thanks

PS
Knoppix 5.1.1 can also access and resize NTFS.
