Hi! I am a new user. I am having some problems with a computer.....so I was told to use Knoppix. The issue is that I cannot get to a desktop of a computer and the only alternative to fixing is reisntalling Windows.

Again, I was told to use Knoppix (I just downloaded version 3.7 and put the Image on a CD) so I could get to the desktop of this PC and access the files.

I know Knoppix allows for Internet access, but does Knoppix allow for sending files over a network to another computer that is on the same router?

There are some important files on this computer that cannot be lost. Although I wasn't planning on doing a drive format to install Windows XP again I wanted to be safer and backup these files on another computer.

The only way I could do it would be over the network since I don't have any USB drives.......and I really can't take out the harddrive and attach it to the laptop because a laptop isn't made the same as a desktop (in terms of the "guts")

So please let me know. If for some reason Knoppix does not allow for file transfers through a network, is there some other alternative to back up these files?

Lastly, I just thought of this alternative, does Knoppix have it's own CD burner? I suppose I could burn the files onto multiple CD's for backups if I couldn't use the network to transfer the files.......

Thank you and have a great week!
