How to backup files on a computer with a corrupted OS?

Posted on November 19, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

OK, so someone I know has a copy (literally, a copy) of windows XP and now it says that it’s not validated and wont boot into windows. Now, I’m going to install Linux on it (xubuntu) but I want to back everything up first. How can I do this? I’m messing with puppy linux on a live CD but would like to know if there is a better way.

Thanks in advance,
Well, there is another computer that can be used and I will be using my iPod as an external hard drive to back up the files.
The computer wont do anything so… I need a live cd to do anythign with it

I have a regular PC with 797MHz AMD Athlon XP processor and would like linux (because everything is better with the penguin) but I need to hear from the people who know.
1-I do not want live CDs/DVDs
2-I am willing to reformat the drive.

Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD and Internet Connection?

Posted on May 13, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I am trying to figure out if I can connect to the internet via Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd. Everything seems to boot just fine, and during bootup it says that eth0 and DHCP is detected. I tried to configure kwlan, but apparently I am doing it incorrectly or it isn’t possible. I am new to Knoppix and Linux and so I am not very sure. My network seems to show up in kwlan, I clicked the “Activate” button, but I cannot get online. I have no firewall. I am trying to connect with a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN – Packet Scheduler Miniport. Any ideas?
