OK, it wasn't clear from your first post. This should be working, assuming that your flash drive is formatted with one of the FAT formats, not NTFS, and that it doesn't have some sort of "windows only" security feature.

I don't know what the problem is. But my suggestion would be to recover the data that is important to you and worry about ths flash drive issue later. Have you considered networking the Knoppix system and your other computer and just transfering the files across the network? There are several ways to do this, but for me the easiest way is to install a simple FTP server on the other computer and then use Konquror in Knoppix as the FTP client to do the transfer.

Good luck.
