Use the standard linux find command to search your files:
cd /mnt/mountpoint (change directory to the mountpoint of the filesystem in question)
find . -name "*Resume*"

And doing a search on a bad hd is generally not a good idea.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You could also do find /mnt/mountpoint -name "*resume*"
The period is the current working directory, namely the dir you're currently 'inside'. Supplying the period to find only tells it to begin the search in the current directory. I don't think you also want to search inside the fs on the Knoppix disc. Even more information with
man find (if Knoppix has manual pages onboard the disc)

I don't know how Knoppix names the mountpoints, maybe they're in /mnt or maybe also in /media (if some automounting daemon is doing the whole thing).

Also keep in mind that linux is case-sensitive, so searching for "*resume*" reveals only files like
"resume download.txt", etc.

You can use -iname instead of -name in find to do a case-insensitive search.
