i guess this should be considered a "bad answer" from the system: # mount /dev/hda9/ /mnt/drive mount: /dev/hda9 is not a valid block device hinting towards a very damaged HD!
What does dmesg say about finding any HD? My dmesg tells me hda: SAMSUNG Serial number, type hda: max request size ... hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 ie some information about the disk and it's partitions.If the disk is detected by Knoppix you should also find your partitions in the /etc/fstab Knoppix created for you.
Maybe the cable is slightly loose. You could try to carefully check if they are fixed.
