Hi guys,
Sorry, I am a very unexperinced user to Knoppix. My Laptop hard drive has had a software failure and as such Windows wont boot. I tried repairing it but that hasn't worked. I used Knoppix to try and back up from my hard drive (it worked as I could use and view everything on it) but I plugged in my External hard drive (NTFS if that helps) but every time I tried to allow read/write rights to it, it wouldn't let me.Im afraid I can't remeber the error message! It was something like it is being used by another process and when I opened it up normaly, it forced it to open. Sorry im so vauge! I have now sent it to the manufacturer but they have offered to send the old hard drive back with my data on. Can anybody advise me on what I can do to copy the data back onto the external hard drive?
Many Thanks
James
