After getting the dreaded Blue Screen of Death in Windows XP, I have tried several programs including the Windows Repair Console (completely useless as expected).

Several websites suggested using Knoppix, which detects the partition with no problems.

However, I'm a Linux noob and am trying to work out how to use the repair facilities in Knoppix.

Lots of sites talk about backing up files and reinstalling Windows, but I'd rather try and determine the problem first.

P.S. My Windows boot partition is FAT32 not NTFS
