Is it possible? I tried 'chroot' to my hdd with knopix but for some reasin it has an error with 'sh', all i need to do is replace some files back into /bin so my computer will boot up properly.
thanks

if a partition has been mounted read-only, use "mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1" etc.. to make it readable.

Well here is the exact error when i try to mount it in knoppix:

Code:

# chroot /mnt/hda2
chroot: cannot run command '/bin/bash':no such file or directory

even though /bin/bash is on hda2 and the knoppix cd. what is the deal here?
