Hi all! My Win2k crashed few days ago and a friend suggested using Knoppix to recover data from a hard drive. I burned Knoppix, added a second hard drive, added a CD drive to boot Knoppix from in addition to a burner that I already have mounted, everything looks the way it's supposed to, but K3D refuses to burn stuff from my old drive onto CD's. It gives me either 'cannot allocate memory' or 'choose lower speed' whenever I try to burn a CD.

I'm not as literate as most of you guys (and girls) when it comes to computers , but here's what I know about my system:

Working drive: WinMe, Fat32, 20GB
Crashed drive: Win2k, Most likely NTFS, 120GB

I tried running Suse 9.1 and 9.2, but both versions wouldn't boot. Installed Knoppix onto my working drive.

I don't have a network and my cable connection won't work in Linux.

Please help. Thanks in advance
