| 176478 | 2003-09-19 11:36:00 | I need a BOOTDISK for Mandrake Linux 9.1 I have searched google for the last 30 mins and couldn't find ANYTHING! They all point to friggin' HOWTO docs! Went to Bootdisk.com too... more HOWTOs plus some HTTP404 errors. I need it so I can access my Mandrake Partitions to backup my hard drive. Could someone please post a link to a downloadable bootdisk. Your help much appreciated... .ham |

Tom's Boot Disk will probably do it too. Or if the directories are Ext2FS, the current Australian PC cover CD has a Windows programme which makes any Ext2FS partitions accessible from Windows. Probably not XP. :D It works for me in WinMe. |

I looked at the magazine last night, and it's said to work for XP. It's a full commercial product ... there's another for NTFS access from W98x. Any RedHat or almost any other distributions boot disk would (or, preferably, rescue floppy) will let you access the hard disk. The RedHat mirrors used to have the separate files as we;ll as iso images. |
