Knoppix "sees" hda1 and hda2 as they are available read only from the desktop. 
One points to the Linux partition and one points to the Windows partition.  
However, when I type mount at the root prompt, hda is not mentioned (nor hda1 
nor hda2).

There is also an hdc, but I can't seem to access it. Perhaps that is the swap 
partition?

I am so confused!
