Use knoppix Linux, a bootable linux system available free at www.knoppix.org .
You can copy data to another partition and also burn CDs with K3B utility in multimedia programs.

Knoppix would allow the poster to see where the data is laid out. Knoppix, and every other flavor of Linux, can only read NTFS file systems, though. Attempting to write to an NTFS file system using any Linux could damage the NTFS file system structure. Linux CAN write to FAT file systems reliably.

Hi There,

Linux Live cd,prefered is SLax.
What you should try is that place the hard drive back into you PC then insert the Linux Live cd, Which ever one you choose, then copy all needed data. Once you have your backups I would say format your hard drive then reinstall the OS and replace the retrieved data. then you'll be set.
