Yes if the partitions on your hard disk are FAT32 or a common linux partition, you can write files to them.

You will have to create a mount point for the partitions, like

Code:
mkdir /files
And then mount your partitions on that directory

Code:
mount /dev/hdxy /files
Note that in hdxy, x signifies the hard disk which the partition is on, a for the first, b for second etc. y signifies the partition number. If you installed windows first on the first hard drive, hda1 should be C: drive, hda5 D: drive, hda6 E: drive etc.

Then you can copy files to the /files directory. either in console or through a graphical file manager.

All this must be done as root.

Ah ... I didn't check for that when I last tried knoppix (or any other live cd) ...

Maybe so

In that case, the mount command should say "abc already mounted on xyz" or something. In that case browse to xyz and begin writing files.
