Knoppix - USB Interface

    My Windows XP has recently crashed and looks unrecoverable.

    I'm trying to get a hold of my data files and someone recommended Knoppix 3.7 as an alternative boot up operating system. This has worked well and I can see the files but I can't copy them on to my USB stick because Knoppix doesn't seem to see USB.

    I'm probably doing something very simple wrong. Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks ! I'm gathering this USB is quite a big issue from reading around!

    Linux isn't too user friendly but maybe is more versatile from what I see. Perhaps I need to know Unix?

    Do what I did. Knoppix has samba, so share the drive, then login from another windows PC on the network and copy away.

    And I have practically zero knowledge of linux.
