My youngest daughter has Windows Vista Home Basic on her laptop.
Yesterday it died on her with all of her college work held on there

amount of coaxing with system restore or emergency disks worked. So,
I pooped in the Ubuntu 8.10 disk and fired that up. Fan bloody
tastic!!! Why didn't I do this to start with?
ntfsclone is the next tool to use
make a copy of the hard disk in case there is other stuff on there that
you missed
then load 8.10 and boot the Vista in KVM - Now you've got control...
