Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to access the files in the knoppix encrypted persistent disk image on windows.

Thank you.

I don't think this forum is the best, or even the right, place for that question. You should probably go to some Windows-forum. It involves (at least) three operations: 1. Reading a Linux file system, which I think is handled pretty well. 2. Loop-mounting a file and then reading the Linux file system from that file - shouldn't be too hard, might have CygWin utilities as a resort. 3. Reading an AES-encrypted file from that lopp-mount, which might be harder.

So I think there should be a way, but for me personally, Windows would be about the last place to go for accessing an encrypted image :).
