    Rescue ntfs files

    I want to use Knoppix to copy ntfs files from win xp hard drive before reinstalling xp. Does it matter what the file format is on the hard drive I am copying the files to? I want to copy the xp files back to the original hard drive after reinstalling xp.

    Well currently knoppix can read ntfs files just fine. But it has trouble writing them. Your best bets are to send the files to a Fat or ext filesystem.

    Or use the network

    or copy them to another windows XP machine sharing a drive over the network (it won't matter what the filesystem is because the samba/windows networking layer will take care of managing the transactions). Open Konqueror and type

    Code:
    smb://computername/sharename
