[RLUG] data recovery

[Grant Kelly]

My friend brought over a crashed windows box and wants me to see if i
can recover any files from the hard drives. I got them mounted in
knoppix and was able to copy some files to a network share, but after
a while, there are a lot of read/write errors and cp fails.

Does anyone know a better way to recover files off of a failing hard
drive in knoppix (or any other live CD)?

Thanks,
Grant
