	Of course it cannot find the file system but if you run GPartEd from 
Knoppix it will be able to create a file system which Knoppix can
find.  That is an ext4 or other Linux Filesystem.

	Currently best usage is a late live iso file burned to a Flash Drive of 
adequate size.  If you burn Knoppix iso file to a Flash Drive
of 8 GB you should as well be able to create a persistent space of about
3.6 GB in which you can store notes and changes.
