To mount it read-write do:
bash#mount -n -o remount,rw/
Attention:Only Ctrl D will reboot the system in this maintence mode.Shutdown or reboot will not work.

I formated the external drive from ext3 to reiserf
How do you unmount when finished it because I am running a Dell Inspiron 2650 Laptop
and mounted hda5 to its default
also what do the * mean in the fstab
/dev/hda7 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs defaults 1 2
Also I can edit the fstab with this
root@ttyp1[knoppix]# mount /dev/hda7
root@ttyp1[knoppix]# kwrite /mnt/hda7/etc/fstab
also before this happened again it wouldn't allow me to add things to it
so i'll probably use this
su
rootpass
chmod 777
and what would be the mount point on an this drive
the name of this partition works fine
#/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2
Also should I get rid of some of these lines
#/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs defaults 1 2
These to both worked early
#/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2
#/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
these to worked before but the external drive was formatted as ext3 to reiserfs
so should be changed to and the original deleted
#/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
These with the # worked before so should I edit
#/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
to
#/dev/sda1 /media/usb-storage-Y3KQ3YTE:0:0:0p1 reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
and delete this line
/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs defaults 1 2
#/dev/hda5 /mount/dev/hda5/mnt/1GB_native reiserfs auto,acl,user_xattr 1 2
