I once used a Knoppix 5.1 live cd to recover data off of a hard drive that had a screwed up MFT.
For some reason, the cd will not work. I just burned another CD and am testing it out now, but figured i would see what type of Live CD y'all would recommend using.
I plan on hooking up the bad HD with a USB cable so i can try to access it.
From past experience, kubuntu and ubuntu didn't work and i found that Knoppix was the only one i could get working to where i could mount a drive as USB and see it.
Maybe i just didn't know the commands or whatever, but that is what i need to do.
The second burned CD seems to be working this time, but if you have others you recommend for recovering a hard drive, let a brotha know.
