I'm trying to work on an Alienware D9T laptop with XP Home on it. It will not boot into Windows due to the install being trashed somehow. It has an onboard Promise RAID setup I'm not at all familiar working with. I'm wanting to access the Windows install to hopefully at the least retrieve files off of it.
I'm using PuppyLinux 5.2.8 via a Live CD I think it's called. I've booted just fine as I'm using firefox right now to write this.
When I click on the Mount icon it opens a window that shows a drive 'ATA Samsung MP
402H 40 GB 1 partitions' then below that it says 'sda1 ntfs 76.4 G'.
When I click Mount I get an error message that says "unable to mount sda1"
What do I need to do, if anything else is necessary to access the Windows install?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
