No idea where to post this, sorry if it's the wrong section.
My PC can't boot anymore if i have my 200gb HDD on power, (I got 2 HHDs) Is there a way to repair that? 180/200 gb of data! I don't want to lose that. Problem: I don't know what kind of HDD it is, only 200gb 7200 rpm --------------------  |

Does knoppix recognise the drive and you can't access, or does it not see it at all?
if you boot knoppix, from a terminal window do a fdisk -l /dev/hdb (might be hdc - hda:primary ide hdb:primary ide slave hdc:secondary ide hdd: secondary ide slave) this will output the partition table and may provide some insight. If you can't access the drive _at_ all then you may be in possession of a brick. Jut in case its the power supply; you may try booting knoppix with only the 200gb drive (unlikely the problem, but hey..) --------------------  |
