If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a Linux image, preferably Ubuntu based, that will run on your hardware and work well. Bonus if it will actually let you read that partition so you can access those files that you value yet failed to back up.
We might be able to help with that.
Current Ubuntu, the main distribution, is 64-bit only. We need to know if your machine is 32-bit or 64-bit, if it is traditional BIO or EFI based, what media you currently have, what you intend to boot from, and what resources you have to load a boot device.
We cannot help you if we are kept in the dark. Some of us CAN do what look like magic, but we need someplace to START!
When you ask for help here, you're asking a group of people, a collection of heads which may be unable to help except in pieces from individual participants. There is no provision via the group for personal tutoring via email. If you do not answer the questions asked by the group's members, you cannot expect to be provided solutions to your problems.
Is it clear that can't access outliers websites?
However, how could I to create a boot disk with this generic kernel?, whatever it means

hi wpeckham,
could you send me it by email and eventually aim out a way to create the bootable with the resources mentioned?

Thansk.
I think not. Part of the PURPOSE of LinuxQuestions is to help people even if they dare not ask questions. If someone else has the exact same problem you have, we want the solution HERE where they can find it and solve their problem. Hiding the solution in email would defeat the purpose.
znt@znt-Infoway:~$ inxi --help
inxi: command not found
znt@znt-Infoway:~$
Use your distro's package manager to install it, e.g.
Code:
sudo apt install inxi
That's the easy way, but a better way is to follow the instructions here. This second way gets you the latest version from upstream, instead of a possibly much older and broken version from your distro. The bonus is it can upgrade itself by using its -U switch. Many distros disable -U in their old versions.
However, how could I to create a boot disk with this generic kernel?, whatever it means
"generic" is simply part of a name for kernels built by Ubuntu and its derivatives. 3.8.0-35-generic seems to be too old for your current purpose. How to create a boot disk is described in very many places all over the internet.
