using knoppix to access corrupt windows install drive

[wselzer]

The command for english is , at the boot: prompt - knoppix lang=en.

There are many posts in this forum and elsewhere on using knoppix to rescue data from windows machines, There is also an IRC channel, #knoppix where help may be available.

Thanks for your reply. I tried typing the "knoppix lan=en" at the prompt, however my non-alpha keys (e.g. "=") do not produce the expected characters. I could not type the "=" in "lang=en" to produce the desired parameter. I could not use any combination of keys (alt or ctrl) to get the equal sign in my prompt command. BTW, this is a recent IBM ThinkPad (Z60) with a dedicated "=/+" key.
