Right, I am not necisarily new to Linux, but am more comfortable with Windows. Now, seeing as Linux most likely is more manouverable to do what I want, I need to know if I can do this.
My problem is that I have a second HDD in my PC, and all of a sudden, Windows is telling me it is corrupt and unreadable. It is formatted in NTFS. I use XP SP2, but the drive was formatted long before I got that. Now I turn to Knoppix, as it is a live distro - and I believe has some NTFS capabilities. How exactly would I go about attempting to read this drive in linux, and then copy it's contents onto another HDD so that I can then reformat it? Can it be done with Knoppix? I do know that the second HDD will have to be in FAT 32 to be written to and read by windows and Knoppix.
