(2) Which version of the CD do I want – should it contain a file that ends in. (1) Am I correct that Knoppix (and therefore Feather Linux, which is built on Knoppix) will recover my NTFS files with long filenames intact? So I’m hoping you folks can help me out! Here are my questions: I also looked on the Feather Linux support forum, where several other people had questions similar to mine about creating the CD, but the person(s) who answered them could only say it’s “simple” and didn’t really answer the questions. I had to search the Web for instructions on using MD5SUM files, but I didn’t get them to work. #KNOPPIX 8.3 ISO DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD#I’ve also tried checking the Feather Linux download using the MD5SUM files provided on the site. In addition, I’ve tried adding the Feather Linux boot.img file to both CDs. ISO and turns it into a couple of folders and several files on the CD. I also downloaded DeepBurner, which gives a specific option for burning an. One I created using Sonic RecordNow!, which when I hit “Burn” simply copied the. On both computers, I’ve also tried two different CDs. #KNOPPIX 8.3 ISO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS#At the moment, though, I’m back to the original Dell HD, also with Windows XP, in the Dell.) This way I could use ReadNTFS and my external HD with the Dell to recover files. (BTW, the Dell is critical to my recovery process because I moved the HD from the failed HP into it, replacing the original Dell HD, because the HP wouldn’t even boot from a floppy. The only way I *don’t* get to Windows on the Dell is if I disable the HD entirely in the BIOS boot sequence. I’ve tried changing the boot sequence, which is already set up to go to CD before HD. On my DELL DIMENSION 4600, where I burned the CD and tried it out, I don’t get to Feather Linux in any way, shape, or form – just keep getting to Windows. ![]() ![]() Loading a (very limited) shell,” with a list of about nine built-in commands.

On the failed computer, an HP PAVILION 7966 which has no hard drive in it at the moment, I get as far as the splash screen, then the cheatcode list, then (after booting using cheatcodes in several different combinations) the small penguin at the top left corner of the screen, but that just flashes by and then I get a blank screen. However, I can’t get Feather Linux to boot on either of two computers. ![]() I ended up downloading Feather Linux, from, with hopes of recovering those same files with the long filenames intact. I’ve spent the last couple of days reading up on those and related matters. Then I saw here on MajorGeeks (I’m a newbie) some references to Knoppix and Mepis. I even used my digital camera to take screen shots of the directories, so I could recreate the long filenames in place of the truncated 8.3 filenames I got by using ReadNTFS to go through DOS. I finally managed to recover several hundred files from a failed Windows XP computer by using ReadNTFS. ![]()
