Thanks for ur reply Harry....I really don't know anything abt Knoppix...It's my first day or should I say first hour of using it....One of my friends told me that I could back all my files up thru knoppix, so I got this software....

I have HP pavillion....I have DVD/CD writer.....I also have USB flash drive....THe files I want to recover mite take up abt 5-6 GB....how can I copy those files into DVDs or CDs??
