Automatic mount of drive doesn't work 
A bug that we noticed while using the product was that, the desktop icons for the hard drives are not automatically mounted with the corresponding devices. So to use them you have to manually su as root and mount them by using the following command in a terminal window

$su
#mount /dev/hdxy /mnt/hdxy

Here replace xy with the appropriate drive name. You can check the exact drive name by running the 'fdisk -l' command as root (after running the su command)

Icon doesn't work
If you run the 'Bitdefender virus scan' icon from the desktop and select any mounted hard drive to scan and click on the Scan button. It won't start the scanning because of the reason, that by default, you log in as the Knoppix user who is a simple user, who doesn't have write permissions on the mounted drives so you have to become root before running it. To do this you have to open a terminal window and run this application manually after being root, to do so run the following commands

$su
#/opt/BtDefender/bin/bdgtk

This will open up the same interface but this time it will properly scan the drives.
