Yes, KNOPPIX is a wonderful tool. I use Fedora Core on my machine, but
I support my girlfriend's machine, whom I talked into installing

I can email partition/sector data. I presume that I should backup the

of the partitions from /dev/hda1, /dev/hda7, etc.
But you knew that.
Shoot us an e-mail about what happened when you can.
