User Feedback :: Hard drive access

I'm running DSL 4.4.9 from a USB flash drive.
Install & net connection went fine (posting through it).
I'm just unable to locate any way to access my hard drives.

I'm a Linux newbie. I spent a whole day searching the system (through GUI, mainly emelfm) and the DSL forums. Couldn't find quite what I wanted.
If there was an oversight on my part, in forums or some obvious solution in the GUI, please be forgiving and kind enough to direct me accordingly.

HDD Details:
NTFS partitioned 80GB(20gb*4) SATA under WindowsXP (I enabled sata during install via cheat code. During USB boot, declares detection of SATA)

Emelfm (Super user) response:
-> at /dev/hda(,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)0-16 & /dev/sda(,b,c,d)x & /dev/sde(,f,g)1-8 shows inactive & 0 bytes
->at /dev/hda(,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)17-20 & /dev/sde(,f,g)9-15 & /dev/sdhx shows active & 18 bytes, but on but on trying to access 'Permission denied'.

Terminal response as root:
[ / ] # mount h(s)da(b)x
mount : can't find h(s)da(b)x in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

It is possible your SATA chipset is not supported in DSL (2.4 kernel). If you bring up the mount tool, and click through the devices, what are the available ones?

With mount tool all that I ever got is:
Floppy
Cdrom
sda1
sda2

I'm having this same problem. It appears the nVidia nForce drivers aren't included. I found the sources, but where is the build tree?

Thank you

The build tree? Do you mean the .config file for the kernel? It, along with the Knoppix patches, is in kernelsource-2.4.31.dsl in testing. You might want to use the latest 2.4 kernel, since it likely has more SATA drivers available than 2.4.31.
