I've never used knoppix,but I frequently use Mandrake's live CD to mount  dead hdds and move critical data to safety. This is a highly effective method for me since I'd really rather format windows and allocate the space for something useful than attempt a futile repair. You may find a folder for the windows drive in /mnt in knoppix. Mandrake puts it there on it's own now, Years ago I had to use Diskdrake (diskdruid to the rest of the world) to find where the drive was and then edit /etc/fstab to point a directory to it. Perhaps this will be useful information for a rainy day. Tom

Please keep in mind it was made for Knoppix 3.2 and not 3.4 but will 
with a little hunting, all the same stuff is there.
