XP partition failed, data partition full of valuables – help.

by inky960 . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

What’s the best way to retrieve the data (about 30 gigs!) from the D:\ partition of my main HDD, the C:\ partition of which just failed, *totally*? The 0 drive is an 80 Gig, split more or less in half. Could I boot to some kind of floppy or CD, and from there maybe navigate to the D: partition? If so, what do I do once I’ve found my files? I don’t have another PC, but I have a 20 Gig drive I’m not currently using.

Any tips greatly appreciated.
