Hi,
I'm trying to recover data from a laptop harddisk which was running win xp home ed. I have successfully created the knoppix cd (have tested it also on my personal desktop running win 2000). But when i try to boot the laptop with knoppix, it does not fully boot. I get the initial screen where I hit enter to boot, then it shows loading linux and then goes thru hardware detection and successfully scans the hard disk. Then on the next line it says:
"Looking for cd in : /dev/hdc " and here it just gets stuck, i have tried several times but it wouldn't go past this point.

PLease , please help me
Thanks
