Dear SLUG,
The hard drive on my PC has stopped booting up in Windows XP Home. I have 
tried everything to start it. There are a great number of files on this hard 
drive that I do not wish to lose, but currently cannot access via XP; and 
therefore I do not wish to reinstall Windows XP on this hard drive and run 
the risk of losing them. I have bought the Knoppix CD at a recent computer 
fair, and (brilliant) this has allowed me to read all these files. But 
UNFORTUNATELY it will not let me copy or move them onto a recently installed 
additional hard drive also running XP (i.e. read-only). A colleague has 
informed me that this is because I was running Knoppix from the CD and that 
I need to install it on a hard drive in order to be able to copy or move 
files. I have installed yet another hard drive with the sole purpose of 
using it as a Linex drive, but when I tried to installed Knoppix onto this 
hard drive using the instructions provided by SLUG, I get the message “Open 
disk, read-only, you have no permission to write”.

Help!!!

Mike
