Recently i had the hard drive (NTFS) in my main machine fail and i tried using knoppix to recover some data from it. Knoppix saw the disk and could also see the data but when i tried to copy it to my second (FAT) hard drive it said i couldnt. I then tried to copy to my USB memory stick (FAT) and was once again told no. Annoyed by this i tried to burn the data to a CD but K3B kept telling me there was a buffer overun error, try running at a slower burn speed. After i got down to 1x i just gave up, also the hard drive had become unreadable again.

Anyone got any suggestions?
