This seemed to mean only complex drive detection stuff that I tried (MUT, QTParted) recognised it as NTFS. Specifically grub was recognising it as unknown fi...

I think i have found the problem. Puppy refuses to mount its pup001 file on my HD despite my having downloaded it and it being in the proper place (erro, partition does not exist or suchlike). Pmount also refuses to mount my HD, I have to use MUT. If I open CFdisk or when Puppy is booting it recogni...
