I want to make a Knoppix boot disk so that I can rescue some files off my almost dead HD, which will no longer boot XP, but still runs (mostly). The X200 has no floppy or CD ROM, except for a firewire external. Has anyone tried this? I suppose I could use a memory stick, instead, maybe? Help?

I'm a newbie to this; mea culpa if I'm asking the wrong question or am in the wrong place.

Many thanks,
C
