Hi all,
After more than a bit of a struggle, I managed to hook up my Western Digital Media Centre (250 Gb external USB hard drive) to a Knoppix 3.9 boot-up in a desperate attempt to rescue my data from a crashed WinXP installation.
I can see the internal hard drive and all the data, I also mounted the external hard drive and gained RW access to it.
I started to transfer the data (~22 Gb), which is happening, but at the current rate I think it will take about a month to finish! (The file copy message generally says "Stalled" in the transfer rate section)
Any pointers to how to improve the transfer speed and my chances of ending-up before the year ends?
Thanks in advance,
Rafael
