Can`t find my files using knoppix live cd.
Hi guys, my hard drive died so I bought a knoppix live cd to retrieve files. I have a HP g70, I put the live cd into the drive and it seems to work fine, everything shows up on screen except a way to retrieve my files, I`ve looked everywhere on knoppix but nothing to do with my files shows up on screen. I have loads of pics and music I need to retrieve before I replace the hard drive. Any help is appreciated.

Any help out there?
Not sure if anyone is using this site anymore, but if anyone can give me some information I would really appreciate it. I figured it would be easy to retrieve files once I bought the disk, but it`s not so I need some help. My other concern is I bought a corrupt disk from Knoppix. Any thoughts? Anyone having the same issues with a paid for live cd from Knoppix?
Thanks......

I need help as soon as possible, i`ve been trying for a month now to retrieve my files, I can`t replace my hard drive till I have them. I don`t want to lose everything but I need to get my pc up and running. Does anyone know if Ubuntu is a better disk than Knoppix? I have a feeling I should have used Ubuntu now.

First of all try Forum search: "recover" "restore"
Did you start the filemanager PCManFM?
-
Thanks for your reply. Not sure what the filemanager PCmanFM is or how I start it? Details would be appreciated, I`m a newbie to doing this stuff.
Thanks again Werner.

Within the menu: => Accessories => Filemanager
But why did you not try the icons within the panel or doesn't you see the graphic screen?
-
I seem to have everything on the graphics screen, menu=accessories=filemanager, but then on the left side of the panel it only has
Knoppix
Desktop
Applications
Knoppix_FS
Knoppix
That`s all and i`ve checked them for my files but couldn`t see them anywhere. I guess i`m doing something wrong?
Thanks Werner I appreciate your help.

Not sure if my last post went through. Anyway, I went onto the file manager and on the left side it had Knoppix listed a 3 times, desktop, applications and that`s it, nothing that seemed to say where my files were. Any suggestions?
-
Ok, this looks bad.
Open the LXTerminal (Accessories) and type(little L).
If "fdisk" doesn't list the disk and the partitions of the drive your harddrive is damaged. Time to use your backup.
-
I`ve tried my backup disk that I had made at the store when I bought, unfortunately, it didn`t help and wouldn`t do anything. I typed in fdisk-1, it says command not found. Does this mean all my files are lost?
Thanks again for your help Werner
