Recovering NTFS partition (Newbie)

[Davidsa]

I want to recover some data from a corrupted NTFS partition which has Windows XP Pro (among other things) installed on it.

Knoppix/Konquerer "sees" only a FAT (plain FAT, not FAT32) partition on the disk which I imagine is the XP recovery consol. I do not need to preserve this partition or the files in it.

How do I make Knoppix "see" the NTFS partition?

I realize Knoppix won't write to an NTFS partition. I have another, working hard disk formatted FAT32 with enough space to take the data I need to recover.

Many thanks in advance for suggestions. I have no previous experience of Linux/Knoppix.

By any chance, are you using a program called GoBack?

No - Norton Antivirus is on there, but on this drive I have only ever used the other Norton tools from the HD.
