OK so after reading several posts here I have come to the conclusion that I probably will not want to write to this as it is a NTFS drive and I do not have the option of formatting it to FAT32. So - can someone recommend a good way to recover those files? I read some mentions of setting up an FTP - can anyone give me a walkthrough because I have never done that. Also - I am not sure if my knoppix is connected to the network bc the internet will not work on it. Thanks.
