Hi Guys, My Box died today :-(
I was having some problems with a hard drive on the way out and was in the process of backing up my significant data when it froze and I had to do a hard reboot. After this, the machine would not start at all (It is an ex-motherboard, it has ceased to be). With luck I should be getting a new machine very soon - I've been on the point of doing so for about a year. Anyhow, what I want to know is what is the best way to recover data from a hard drive that is about to fail, but contains part of my Mandrake installation (usr & home) when I get a new box up and running. Can I install it as a slave disk an access it through a new Mandrake installation or perhaps a live CD distribution? Or are there other ways? I realise this isn't exactly a Mandrake specific topic but there is more concentrated computer wisdom here than any other place I know so I hope you can steer me right. Thanks, Graham Watkins Newbie, man and boy - for about 5 years now. ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/
