my C drive went belly up (probably a boot sector virus) It won't boot
with error message "corrupt hal.dll" or some such thing. Went to
recovery console - can't even get directory listing of drive. "error in
directory enumeration". Tried chkdsk -p, it gave up 30% in with
unrecoverable errors.
Downloaded knoppix and inserted that cd and booted up. I can see all my
folders but "my documents" is locked up (I must have accidentally
protected it in windows). some folders also seem to have wrong size.
How do I remove this protection so I can restore these folders. (A way
to take over file ownership in knoppix). I have another drive in the
machine and I simply want to copy these files to that drive (is it as
simple as drag and drop in knoppix?)
thanks
