Greetings, Navster.

Most any Linux system may be used to transfer data from one drive to another.
Knoppix is not likely unique in this regard.

The process is usually quite simple, but it is very unforgiving to inadvertent
errors made in trying to carry things out.
One may, for example, write over and destroy the very material one wishes to
preserve with a very minor misinterpretation of the basic command instructions.
The less familiarity one has with an operating system, the more likely such
an unfortunate error might occur.

It is probably better to stick with the OS you know when undertaking a data
recovery operation. If you haven't already, you might examine what your
options starting with a forum or tech support more closely related to Windows.
If you haven't already, you might start with options apparent at:

If it turns out you are an old hand at Linux, then we need to start over and
discuss the hazardous details in a different way.
