to my question - is there a live cd that can copy and write on ntfs partitions - i want to copy my personal data to another ntfs hard disk i have.

You already have one - Knoppix.
However I would caution against copying to another NTFS partition unless you are going to take that disk to another PC. NTFS is a proprietry format that M$oft keep changing.
Why not FAT32 - even several ???.
Anyway, there is write support, but it's usually described as "experimantal" - and BTW, no longer being developed.
You have been warned - see advice above re FAT32, or use a Linux filesystem.
If your XP system is accessible, Knoppix includes a project called Captive - it uses the drivers from your XP. So from the main menu (the big "K", bottom left), select Knoppix, then (guessing here) utilities, then captive.
Select it, let it scan your disks, go get a beer (mmm - better make that coffee), read a book ....
You should be right to go - maybe you'll have to (re-)mount the target R/W as Knoppix generally mounts all disk as R/O for safety. Not sure how Captive changes things in that respect, as I've never used it, either on Knoppix or elsewhere.
