I'll try to make this short: Win 2000 (On IBM Netvista box) gave me a BSOD (Inaccessable_Boot_device) error. BTW no new hardware/software installed from last good run to BSOD. Tried recovery console but chkdsk gave me a "unrecoverable error" message. FINE. Booted to the Knoppix CD in the hopes of "finding" C drive but my Linux knowledge is zero. OS booted fine but can't see C or any of my files. The reason I need Linux is I need to pull some large files off.
Normally the above would lead me to believe that the drive was stone cold dead BUT, if I use a 98 boot floppy, I have no problems running around in DOS. Managed to copy many files to floppies but there are a host of large files I was hoping to pull off of C w/ Linux and networking or ftp.
So what gives here? Even pulled the drive and stuck it in a USB drive case. Windows tells me it's unformatted.......
But DOS is just fine...... I'm lost.............
Since Linux seems to be the best choice to get networking the drive I'm posting here. Will probably cross post in Win forums
NOTE: Trying to mount the drive in Knoppix I get a "I could not determine the file system type and non was specified"
Any clues?
