Knoppix is a live boot operating system, meaning you can run Linux without installing it. Boot your computer with Knoppix with the drive attached, and see if it can recognize it. You may or may not need to mount the drive. After this you should be able to pull the information off the drive onto some sort of backup. (another hard disk, DVD, CD, thumb drives, etc...)

Good luck.
