I boot my laptop with Knoppix 4.0.
Then I want to move data from my laptop HD to my external HD that is connected to an USB-port.
However the external HD is not recognized by Knoppix.
The USB are detected at start-up of Knoppix.
How can I get this done, what have I to do to transfer files from one to the other HD.
