Data Recovery

Hi I have a 'friend' who is writing a WorldWar2 book on his computer, he recenctly factory restored his computer and I was tryin to get some info on Data Recovery.

 

Here is starter information.

You can probably salvage your data filess if
you start your computer using a Live Linux CDROM* that can
read the NTFS Windows partition and also connect an external
hard disk (FAT32, so it can be written to by Linux), then you
can hunt down your files (Documents and Settings folder
is crucial) and copy them to the FAT32 drive. (connect the
external drive on the USB port before you start the system)

Try a Linux live CD
