I'm using knoppix so I can transfer all my files to an external hard drive before I reinstall windows on my computer, but unfortunately I have a bunch of files with the names in Japanese (I'm going to a Japanese university so I need to write my papers in Japanese) and knoppix won't even show them.
Anyone know how to make it so I can view files that are in a foreign language (Japanese)?
