Linux Saves The Day (Again!)


Today my teacher was burning some stuff on a CD rom and somehow he managed to "corrupt" the CD (accroding to windows). He thought it was burned properly and deleted the file that he had on the hard drive. Next thing I know is he is almost fainted saying that the CD that he just burned had corrupted and now he left with nothing, and it was really important stuff and blah blah blah...
This is where I came to help. Good thing I always keep Mandrake Move CD in my binder. I just told him that I might be able to help him. I gave it a try and opend up the files. All the data was perfect and no sign of corruption. But windows still says it's courrpted.
Not knowing about linux, he was suprised at two things.
1. Running a complete OS off the RAM.
2. Linux just did what windows 98, NT, and XP pro couldn't and still can't do.

Anyways that's my story... It happend today.

I've thought about using mandrake move. It sounds awesome, but I couldn't take it into the place I work anyway.
