hard drive from abuntu laptop, need help asap
 

Hey guys I just started using Abuntu and love it I had a friend of mine put it on my toshiba tecra notebook. I had a water leak in my office and bricked my note book. I pulled the HD immediately and dried it out. I won't be getting a replacement for atleast a week how ever I neeeeeeed files from that drive now. I have a case that will use the HD as a usb external drive. Is there a way to get those files onto a windows note book( my only imediate option)
Thank you in advance and please keep in mind this all very new to me

Depends on the formatting used. There is some software that makes it possible to read ext2/ext3 from windows.

google results for ext2 windows

And the cynical me says "see my signature"

Alternatively, you could use Ubuntu live CD on a computer where you'll be able to copy the files from your USB drive to a local (windows) drive.

The live CD solution might even be necessary / a better solution as it might be an ext4 file system.
