Edit - sweet as.

You may want to get the newer one, it's a bit nicer. 7.10 is the current.

637541 2008-02-05 01:01:00 Yeah gutsy gibbon is a nice improvement - supports full read/write functionality to NTFS volumes.

I use it quite often to recover files from dying Win PC's!! :thumbs:

637544 2008-02-05 05:52:00 I just burnt it today and tried the live cd and it's great could open all my documents created with MS office 03 using the open office, could play my mp3's and went straight on to the net as well, very easy. gary67 (56)
