I'd say you get the newest version, 5.0.1 and try it again!

what do u want to do with this Data? Backup? Use?
If you just want to make a backup, you can also try "ultimate boot cd", there are file managers there which runs from CD, so you can copy your data to another partition if you have one.

another bootable recovery CD is "Winternals ERD Commander", based on windows. It's like a knoppix on an XP-basis. But it's not free... http://www.winternals.com/Products/A...dcommander2005
