Well, this is a long one hehe, but heres my question. I have a system that a year ago stopped being able to boot do to issues with a bad WinXP install. I understand I could format but even that is complicated since I cant get to a command promt when XP is trying to boot.
But more importantly I havent formated because theres files on the system I wish to retrive before I attempt a format. I have a USB hard drive, and by the slim chance it runs on Linux do you believe I could retrieve the files using this disk to boot up?
I know very little about Linux, but I also am starting to have little faith in Windows as time goes on heh. So I am willing to try anything as long as I can get these files off the system. Thank you for any responses or comments you can give on this.
