Linux can save your data (NewsForge)Linux can save your data (NewsForge)Posted Aug 10, 2004 12:02 UTC (Tue) by dmaxwell (guest, #14010)In reply to: Linux can save your data (NewsForge) by thomask Parent article: Linux can save your data (NewsForge)
Captive wraps the Windows NTFS drivers so that Linux can arbitrarily read and write NTFS partitions quite safely. The drawback is that it is slow. The latest Knoppix includes Captive.
I've used it to recover data but the other way it helped me out was giving me a way to shove a NIC driver for a newer card onto a Windows 2000 partition. I've done that several times. Making a new Windows install is soooo much easier when you already have the driver install media unpacked and sitting in directories.
