1) Do NOT use Knoppix to write to an NTFS partition.

2) Knoppix by default opens partitions as reda-only. It's intended as a Live CD and the idea is that a new user should be able to try Linux but do no accidental harm. You can use the mount command from a shell to remount the partition as read/write, or you can right click on the icon for that partition and find the action that changes the partition's read/write status. Only even think about doing this for FAT partitions (or Linux partitions).

3) Do NOT use Knoppix to write to an NTFS partition.

4) If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say NTFS and FAT: If you are using XP and don't know about the different partition types then you are almost certainly using NTFS. If you are using Win98 (or Win95 or even 3.1), then you are not using NTFS and can "safely" make the partitions read/write.
