That doesn't follow. Knoppix is't NT either, but it does a fine job of 
rescuing/copying broken Windows.

Knoppix may not run 64-bit binaries any more than it runs NT binaries, 
but it understands the filesystems well enough, and that's a large 
proportion of the recovery-type work I find necessary.
