I have downloaded a number of bootable utility Linuxes. The problem is
this, I have a drive that is flaking out on a Promise Fasttrack 100
raid card. The drive has been unplugged and will remain so until I
figure out what to do. I was assuming that using a linux copying
utility would be the fastest method, but I know that many Linuxeses did
not even support reading NTFS, let alone writing. I have found that
with newer versions of Knoppix, I could read and write NTFS, but I
don't know if that would be compatible with a promise raid card.
To reitterate, all I need is to know the fastest way to move 40 gb of
data from a Promise Fasttrack raid to the primary master drive.
Thank you in advance,

It's not so much they can't READ the filesystem as it is that the
filesystem cannot be easily understood.
This is essentially irrelevant to a bytecopy utility though, since it
only needs to look at the fact that there IS data in a particular
location, and copy that data, versus actually understanding what that
data is.
PartImage available from partimage.org is what I use to clone disks, and
I have yet to run up against a filesystem it has problems with.
Hope thats helpful!
