I have windows XP home, and i was on the 30-day trial, and i had about 27 days left when i changed the clock on my comp since it said october 2004 and i needed it to have the right date. After i changed that, i had to reboot sometime, and when i booted up, it said that i had to activate it. I dont have a cd key and i dont want to purchase it.
The trouble is that i have many documents and files that are on my hard drive and that i want to backup. I download Knoppix Linux-on-CD, and it boots up fine (actually, thats the os that im posting this thread on now) however this is my first time using linux, so i dont know much about it. I hooked up a 40gb IDE hard drive for backup, and i see them both on the desktop, but i cant copy or delete anything from the drives. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
