Hello, this is what happened (im running on a laptop)
-windows xp crashed (cant fix it)
- cant reinstall windows in another folder
all I want, is to recover my files, is there any way I can copy files in to my external hardrive from DOS? or anytype of connection from my crashed computer, to this other computer and send files through a USB cable or firewire??
or any live linux cd (not dvd) that will allow me to read my windows NTFS files, and then burn them into a cd?
i dunno… any ideas anyone? thanks!
thanks
thank you, but this computer is a laptop, and I think it will be hard to remove the hard rive just to put it in an enclousre dont you think?
you can buy an external hard drive enclosure from newegg for a 2.5 form factor hard drive.

Yes to all your questions. Here are your options–
1. DOS environments with networking, data recovery, partitioning tools, etc. (Hiren's Boot CD, NetBootDisk.com)
2. Temporary Windows-like environments based on WinPE with similar functionality to #1 but with the advantage of a GUI interface (BartPE, Hiren's Boot CD, a SysInternals utility I forget the name of)
3. Linux Live CDs with NTFS read support and even NTFS write support, along with advanced network connectivity and a full suite of productivity, partitioning, security and diagnostic utilities (System Rescue CD, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, INSERT, SUSE Live Eval)
Go ahead and try whichever option(s) seem most comfortable to you. Just search on the keywords I provided, I checked and Google will turn up the proper links. Good luck!
