Knoppix 3.9 not showing Windows long filenames
I have a laptop that's running Windows98 First Edition. It's a Compaq Presario 1256. We purchased a new computer and need to transfer the data files from the laptop to the new machine. I would like to use a USB flash drive, but can't find drivers for Win98 FE (only Second Edition).
I was hoping that Knoppix would be the solution. Knoppix started fine on the laptop, but the filenames are all in the 8.3 format. I really don't want to have to rename all of my files. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. |
Can you type mount and post the output? It might be mounting the drive incorrectly.

What area should I go into to type the mount command? The software boots up into a desktop environment.

Output of mount
Here's the output of mount. I redirected it to a file, copied it to the USB drive and then opened it in Windows Notepad, so the formatting may be somewhat incorrect. I think I've separated the lines correctly.
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw) /dev/hdc on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro) /dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro) /ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=117136k) /UNIONFS on /UNIONFS type unionfs (rw,noatime,dirs=/ramdisk=rw:/KNOPPIX=ro) /UNIONFS/dev/pts on /UNIONFS/dev/pts type devpts (rw) /proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0666) automount(pid1786) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=1786,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /UNIONFS/dev/uba1 on /mnt/uba1 type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000) After looking around some more, I noticed that only SOME of the files reverted back to 8.3 format. Some DO have the long filenames intact! Hope this helps! |
