Puppylinux

Ok, having some wicked problems with XP, I can't boot into it right now. I have some files I want to pull off my hard drive before I ghost my machine. I installed puppylinux hoping that I could burn the files onto a CD and then format, but I don't know how to access my hard drive while running Puppy...can anyone help me out?

Re: Puppylinux

some linux OS allows you to see all the files on the hdd and some dont. I have ran ubuntu live cd and it reads the files on the hdd. after install of the OS and it worked fine. well after I upgraded to the new release I was no longer allowed to see my old windows files. if you have 2 dc roms in your computer run I would try to burn a ubuntu live cd and boot it up and see if you can see the windows files
