I missed a few of your questions, so here's Part Deux.
The simplest way to get your files off the old disk is to copy them to a USB drive. So if you're booting from a USB thumbdrive, you'll probably need a second thumbdrive for the files. If networking is up, it's possible to copy the files over the network, but that's more complicated than using a thumbdrive.
If you go the Knoppix route, you'll have a graphical file manager you can use to select and copy files. I prefer to use UNIX commands (much simpler for me), but I've been working in UNIX for over twenty years. Note that Knoppix doesn't automatically mount your disk drive, you may have to right click on it to mount it. And the "C:" drive will show up as something line "/dev/sda1", but it will be a pretty obvious icon on the screen.
I know there are some books on this stuff, but it's been years since I've looked at any so I can't make any recommendations. The various "build your own PC" type books seem to be fairly good when it comes to explaining how the hardware works (or doesn't).
