Knoppix unable to access XP hard drives

[Guest ChinaTrader]

Just tried the new Knoppix 5.3.1 and find it really cool. But it is

unable to read my SATA hard drives on either my Dell laptop or my

desktop running XP Pro Sp2. The drive properties show the disks as

mountable and the show up as hda and hdb but do NOT appear on the

Knoppix desktop. The drives appear as the Windows drive volume names in

the file explorer in Knoppix as Drive_C and Drive_D. But when I try to

access them I get the following error:

 

\"A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this

message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file {rejected

message had interface \"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume\" member

\"Mount error name \"(unset\") destination \"org.freedesktop.Hal\") X

Error:BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)}

Major opcode: 19

Minor opcode: 0

Resource id: 0x2600006\"

 

Now sadly that does not mean a lot to me at all. However, BartPE can

read the disk and their contents just fine so the is most likely some

geeky code I need to feed to Knoppix to get it to read the drives. Any

Linux/Knoppix boffins out there who can share their genius with me

please? I would be most appreciative of any help. Thanks in advance!
