Project 10: Recover from Windows Disasters with Knoppix 115
If you want to turn the PC off rather than restart it with Windows, click the Turn Off Computer
button instead of the Restart Computer button in the End Session dialog box. After you remove
the CD and press ENTER, your PC shuts down.
Step 4: Back Up Your Files Using Knoppix
If Windows starts giving problems and refuses to boot, follow these general steps to
back up your files, referring back to Step 3 for specific techniques:
Insert the Knoppix CD in your PC??™s optical drive, and then boot Knoppix.
Choose the drive or folder to which you will back up the files: either connect
a USB key or USB drive to your PC or establish a connection to another computer
on your network that has a shared folder.
Use Konqueror to copy the appropriate files to the drive or folder.
Step 5: Download Windows Updates
or Drivers to Fix Problems
If Windows has suffered problems that allow you to log on but not connect to a network,
you can use Knoppix to download Windows updates, tools such as the Windows
Malicious Software Removal Tool, or hardware drivers to fix the problem.
