I have a Knoppix 3.7 CD I use to boot up and get into the hard drive of sick computers. The other day I booted one up and Knoppix couldn’t see the hard drive. Finally took the thing out and noticed it was a SATA drive.
Does Knoppix 3.7 not see SATA drives? Do subsequent Distros detect SATA? Also, I see that the newer Distros of Knoppix are too big for a CD unless you download the CD-lite version. A DVD version is pretty useless on the average sick (usually means old) computer. Will the CD lite version do what I want to do? I just want to get into hard drives and pull off data…maybe replace a corrupted system file.
