My laptop with XP won't boot. I am trying to recover the data and I came across this great website. I can load Knoppix 3.7 and I can see the data files in Konqueror. I am newbie and I have pored through as much as I can but so far no luck. I have a Iomega PCMCIA Clik 40Mb card (I have never used it before, just given by friend so I am not sure if it needs formatting). I get the little green triangle on the desktop with hde1. My data files are more than 40Mb so I bought a Lexar 128Mb USB Jumpdrive (stick, thumbdrive, flashdrive etc...), having seen it mentioned in these forums. I also have a USB 3.5 inch external floppy drive. I am trying to copy the data on to the Jumpdrive but it doesn't seem to be recognised.
I've picked up a few commands from the forums, hope it helps someone out there figure what is wrong:

Can't wait to get going again, ditch M$ and run Linux.
