OK, here's the scenario. Whenever I hd install a new version of KNOPPIX, I invariably have filled-up my home dir with tons of stuff I need to backup. So I fire up K3B and drag my whole home dir to a data CD project about 500MB or 600MB in size and all is well.

Now, despite the fact that I tell anyone and everyone that will listen that "I don't do Windows!" everyone comes to me when they have a computer problem. And, yes, you guessed it, its always WimpDoze related....

Now my better half crashed her WIMxP install. So, I figure: fine, just backup everything in her "My Dox" to CD while I'm dual-booted in Linux. I have had no joy, however. I mounted hda1, I dragged her folder to a K3B data CD project, I started the burn. I tried this 5 times getting the equivalent of Linux Coasters each time as K3B bails out after a couple of minutes with some sort of IO error???

Am I missing something here. Anyone have a better suggestion for backing up her stuff (btw, no I can't ssh to another PC on the LAN as those hdds are full too and my ssh server at work is down, and my ftp server is full too - been there, done that too much already in previous backups)? Why do I have no problem backing up filess in /mnt/hda2/home/* but I do with /mnt/hda1/Documents....

Please help!

TIA,
AJG
