Help recovering information from Windows

[Dustin Breese]

I've used INSERT (http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html) before.

Live, Bootable CD.  Just download and burn it.  It boots linux and can
sometimes help you recover data/files/etc it finds on the disks.

Keep in mind, you can spend a LOT of time digging around looking for
stuff, but if you have very important files, this can save ya.

Good luck,
Dustin
