why would he boot knoppix when he can just boot bartsPE? all you do with barts is put the drivers files in a folder and burn the disk… this isn’t a desktop with IDE drives… it’s much more logical to use a barts or winpe disk… like 10000times more logical. have you ever booted knoppix and installed raid drivers, not even to mention finding the appropriate raid driver for linux? why go through the hassle just to recover windows data anyway…
