Recently my external hard drive crashed, and it was recommended that I use Knoppix to transfer the files from the bad drive to a new drive.
I have WinXP, so I got Knoppix and booted it off a hard disk. That's all well and good, and I can even open individual files from the "bad" drive in various players (movies, pictures, etc), but I can't open any kind of file manager to move the files over! When I click on the icon for the drive, a "Please choose application to use" thing pops up and none of the applications are the ones I want to use.
I looked in Control Center, and it immediately said I should be using a little blue gear/blue K icon for just about everything. The problem is, I don't see this icon anywhere on my screen. There is a gear with a K icon, but the gear is white and the K is yellow, and it just brings up a ton of menus that don't contain any sort of file manager or Konqueror.
Can someone help me? My version is Games-Knoppix v. 3.7-0.2
