Hello,
I recently 'damaged' my external HD (Maxtor) & now I can't have access to it through Windows. I thought I had lost over 200GB worth of data until I found KNOPPIX. I made the CD, & when I booted Linux the Maxtor was detected & even read =D
The problem is.... I can't seem to be able to port any data from the Maxtor to any other HD, as a backup... How can I do this?
I am able to make folders on other HDs through Linux... But when I try to move folders from Maxtor to other HDs, a 'transfer' window is displayed, which then reads 'stalled'. This means no data is copied... All my HDs are NFTS...
What can I do?

Additionally, I have another issue. I bought a second external HD (Maxtor2) on which to put all data as a second backup. The problem is, Maxtor2 is only available through my local network, that is, my LAN. Linux doesn't seem to be able to read it, & an error message that reads that something (I don't recall the name) is not enabled... Any help with that, please?
