I had a bad system crash yesterday that left me with a non fucntioning WinXp. I put in the XP disc hoping to install a new version ontop of my old version. I had no luck, the installer couldn't see my partition information. I tried to boot into my Linux Mandrake partition with no luck either. MBR must have gotten fubared.
I have about 2gb of data I need to get off my Windows FAT32 partition. I've tried the following 3 things with no avail:
1) copying data from my C: to another partition. After about 100mb, the copying window just displays 'Stalled', yet my HDD light continues to stay light.
2) burning the data to a CD. I've tried this, I told K3b to use one of my other partitions as a the temp directory, in hopes of putting less load my RAM. About 50% done with the burn, it just stops and the disc ejects with an error communicating with the CD writer.
3) transfer through FTP. I setup BulletProof FTP on a system I have. I logged in using Konquerer, I transfered 80mb at about 10kb/s and then I get the 'Stalled' error again the transfer stops - yet the HDD light continues to stay light.
This is getting very frustrating.
I have an AMD Athlon XP 1600+, 512 PC 2100 RAM, 5gb free on a partition that I can use for temp space. I'm running Knoppix 3.3 off the CD.
Please help me, I'm desperate!!!
