Newbie here....

Ok, I'm in need of some assistance.  I recently broke a barrowed computer (IBM Thinkpad w/Win2k).  Basically, in effort to use to a network printer, I switched it from a domain to a workgroup.  Ended up locking myself out of the machine... none of my usernames or pswds work anymore.

A friend of mine loaned me Knoppix STD (on a CD) to get the system and SAM files off of the computer so I could brute-force them on another machine and get a legit username/pswd.  However, I'm fairly new to linux...

I can't find the Travelstar HD in /dev  ... I know that's where it should be, but as I said.. I'm new.  I find the shell a bit confusing... can't tell directories from files.  I assume the hd should appear as a directory?  When I open up a text editor and look in /dev/, the directories listed there do not seem to contain the files from the HD...

Does linux not recognize the NTFS format?  Is it because I'm booting from a CD?  Help?

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks for the help! :-D
