I can safely tell you that the new Knoppix isn't gonna see anything that the old Knoppix doesn't see. If they are REALLY important then you have backups, use them. Otherwise some drive recovery software might help find missing files. Without knowing more about what happened and how it happened it's hard to say or know what software to suggest, but most of it will be stuff that does not involve Linux. Google and keywords like partition recovery might be a good place to start searching.
