Don;'t know about Knoppix itself, but DSL (Damn Small Linux, based on KNoppiex but cut down to 50meg) can load itself to memory allowing you to take the CD out.
As described, boot from such a CD, bring up a terminal and:
fdisk -l
will show you any available disks (partitions etc.)
if your windows partition is there, then you should be able to mount it (readonly):
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222


(replacing hda1 with the appropriate device as found with fdisk -l)

you can then browse it and stick any files you want on a CD, or email them etc.


This is all assuming the drive is visible...
