247135 2004-06-24 04:50:00 Well, so far its looking promising...

Im using one of my primary 10 gig partitions, and some file-recovery software to copy the files across to the 10 gig partition.

I then reboot into Knoppix and send the data across the LAN to my USB2.0 External 120 HDD (I could do it locally, but the desktop only have USB1.1 so its faster to send it across the LAN to may laptop with the external HDD shared.....).

Then I remove the files from the 10 gig that I now have backed up and continue on my merry way, back to the File Recovery software to do another 10 gigs... So far Ive done about 15 gigs worth :-( Its a slow process......


Thanks guys


Chill.

It seems that the error was the Linux partition which will not boot now. I will have to run the Xandros setup over it.
Btw, Xandros will reinstall your Linux & save all your data and extra software in a folder.
