Comment:
i have a Dell Latitude D600 Laptop with Windows XP Pro. Installed. It will not Boot into Windows. [only boots into Safe Mode] I am trying to use a Knoppix 5.1.1 Live CD to copy Pictures from the My Documents Folder located on the C:\ >Drive. I want to copy the Pictures to an USB Thumb Drive. I am Legally Blind and cannot do a lot of research reading etc., thus, I am asking for help as to what commands do I use and also step by step intstuctions. Thanks
