Recover failing NTFS disk
Hello all,
I am sorry, this is truly in need of immediate attention. If you need more explanation, read past the next paragraph.
Long explanation short: I need something like Slax or Dropline GNOME that can copy data from an NTFS HDD to an external USB HDD (NTFS or FAT32) as quickly as possible.
I currently have a laptop HDD that earlier, by anyone's definition, had crashed. It, because of luck or some other higher power, is responding again.
It is running Windows, but I am afraid that it is too far gone for the OS to properly boot up. I have a portable USB HDD that is on the ready to receive the failing HDD's data but I need "safe" access to it.
Please help out! It contains a lot of data a fellow collegiate friend of mine really needs for his classes.
Thanks!
