Data Recovery Made Easier

Submitted by christopher on Fri, 04/17/2009

A few years ago, when a previous laptop had problems, I used a linux boot cd for the first time to recover data before wiping the laptop and restoring it to factory condition.

Just did it again for a friend. Now, it is much easier thanks to Ubuntu. Bookmark this tutorial on using an Ubuntu boot CD to start a recalcitrant computer and save your data!
