Knoppix Linux boot disk

I had a failed Harddrive, windows won't see it.

So i Tried Knoppix boot disk, I can see all the data on the failed drive.

So I plugged in a backup drive mounted it and tried to change the read/write permissions, fails saying maybe been used my another system process. I read up that knoppix doesn't like ntfs, so I tried a FAT32 drive does the same.
At the moment the only thing it will copy to is a FAT formatted 2gb memory stick.

Which says to me it only likes to write to FAT, but I need to be a able do write to a larger drive?

As MAX Fat can do is 2gb.

Any  suggestions?

You can try SystemRescueCD (http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page), which supports ntfs via ntfs-3g package.
