You have not said what the problem is!!! This does not tell me anything:

Can you go into a terminal, make a new directory, and manually mount one of the partitions there? I don't know how labels work in fstab, but there are at least two entries there which make no sense to me: Code:
/dev/hda2 /dev/hda2 auto defaults 0 0 B. What does it mean to mount a device to its own name?? |
ok sorry i have been getting a little frustrated and have made many other posts trying to find help with no luck....i may have made a mistake mounting the sda and i know the partitions are ok but the file manager says the total is around 4gb and the hdd is 100gb......thats just one problem....my cdrom isn't working and i cant even run the knoppix live cd or reinstall any distros if i wanted to start all over again.....so i think my biggest problem is fixing my cdrom then i can start all over and partition things the right way this time......thanks for any help i really appreciate it.
