Everyone knows that its very important to take backup of valuable data, coz we never know when our computer in going to hate us.
May be one day we switch ON our laptop and see that it doesn’t boot [ Oh my God ! you should have not did this to me atleast today. Today is the last day to submit my semester project ]
Ya, may happen to any one of us only at wrong times. Ok. Don’t Panic.
Just try to do the below steps. I tried to do this when one of my friend’s Windows crashed just on the final day of submissions. And I was able to get his files from it safely transferred to a USB device.
I came across KNOPPIX from one of the site where there were detailed step by step instructions : KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD or DVD.
Step 1 : Download Knoppix from any of the mirrors
Step 2: Write it in a CD/DVD
Step 3: Make sure CD drive is selected as first boot device. This can be done by entering into setup by pressing F1,F8 or some function button
Step 4: Sit back and relax untill the CD loads LINUX on your system.
Step 5: Hurray ! I got my files back.
