Which Live For windows file recovery?

does it matter which i use for getting into a farked windows xp partition to recover files? is anyone better than the next?

i heard something bout knoppix...

Knoppix is what I swear by for this. PCLinuxOS is an ok alternative, but for me, knoppix is familiar and seems to be very fast at recovering NTFS.

knoppix has several fast ftp sites mirroring it. No need for BT.

which one do i download?

Just click on "download" and then select the closest ftp or http mirror to you. Then you can just grab the 4.0.2 iso (make sure to get the EN version).

All you need is the ISP unless you will be checking the MD5 hash

He meant iso file. just take the iso file (biggest one) and run the md5 file on it (md5summer does a good job) and burn the iso with nero

the md5 isnt really needed, but if you want..

If Knppoix doesn't work, try PCLinuxOS. I salvaged all of the files from a freinds hard drive (it had 1174 virus instinces) using the LiveCD, backing up all of her data to a DVD using K3b.
