Download an ISO file from Knoppix to make a Bootable Live CD to recover
your Data.
Get it from a mirror of your choice on his next page there.
It is about 696MBs compressed.
Boot from it(it uses your RAM and Graphics, but does not install), and copy
your Data to a Flash Drive.
Check to see if you have enough RAM to run it.
Change permissions on FD from read only, so you can copy to it

And above is a good ISO burner.
It is a shell ext; just right-click on the downloaded ISO file>send Image to
CD

Cheers.

Hello
I have a PC running XP professional SP2. I have a offline UPS and due to a
power fluctuation, the system restarted 2 times. During the third time, it
failed to start up; the monitor went blank and the sytem tried to read from
the CD drive.

The problem is I had not made a boot disk/CD and I dont have the original CD
with me. How can I download the same for my system configuration ? I had my
80 GB HD partitioned into 4 and I am afraid if I reinstall XP I will lose
all my data on my C: Drive. Is there any solution where I can boot the sytem
and NOT lose my data on C: Drive.
Please help with this.

Thanks
.
