OT: Transfering files over a network.

[tktemptress]

Does anyone know of a utilitiy I could possibly download off the net, and burn to a CD and have another computer Boot off that CD so I can transfer files off the dead PC before formatting it? It has XP installed on it but its fucked beyond repair and I need to salvage business files from it.

I know there has to be a utility that you can boot from that'll allow you to access a HD still and transfer it across a network. Or even burn to CD.

Anyone know?

linux knoppix is the answer.

it is a version of linux you can run from a cd *like i do when anything goes wrong at all*

has a million and one programs already on it such as file sharing, networking, usb support, sound support, dvd/cd burning etc

it really is great

[tktemptress]

Where can I get this?

Will it allow me to connect to another XP machine and transfer files? or will it allow me to burn from that local machine?

hmmm knoppix.org (http://www.knoppix.org)

That utility didn't work, does anyone else have a similar one?

[Fayd]

knoppix isnt a utility, it's a whole operating system on a disk.

and if it doesnt work, you're retarded.

Forgive me for saying it was a utility, I realize its a full OS based of Linux.

But it won't boot on that laptop that I was trying to use it on, it doesn't support the DVD-r thats in it, it worked on this laptop, but this isn't the one I need it to work on.
