My laptop motherboard fried. I removed the hard drive and put it into an external enclosure hoping to salvage my data. WinXP couldnt access it - it showed up as a drive in My Computer, but when I tried to get at the data it said the drive wasn't formatted. Someone told me that it might have been a partition problem and that knoppix might help me fix it; but Im not sure what the next step is. Someone please help ASAP?
