RE: Knoppix boot CD

I'd imagine the C: drive was formatted NTFS, which 98 & DOS wouldn't
recognize.  (Why would Microsoft be compatible with their own products?)

Another nifty CD utility is at www.ultimatebootcd.com.  It contains lots
of diagnostic and other tools.  All free- or share-ware.

Subject: [PCTECH] Knoppix boot CD

I LIKE Knoppix.  A very handy CD to carry around in your toolkit.  A
Knoppix CD saved a ton of user files on a customer's WinXP PC for me the
other week.  PC would no longer boot up from disk, booting from a Win98
diskette or DOS would even tell me the C drive was empty (actually said
it didn't even exist).  Downloaded Knoppix, burned the CD, booted from
it, activated Samba (with default to export all drives) and
accessed/copied all the files (see, the C drive WAS there, Windows was
lying to me) by connecting from Network Neighbourhood in Windows
Explorer on another PC connected to the same switch.
