I had to use a linux boot cd called Knoppix to get
into a failing hard drive a couple of years back.
Windows wouldn't look at it all but I managed to get
the drive mounted and most, not all, the data
transferred over to a extrenal usb drive. Much to the
delight of my daughter as it had all her photographs
and mp3 files on it. She does now back them up onto
CDR. A lesson learned :-)

Cheers....Jimmy
