I was pondering how to retrieve my files from my laptop. I wasnt sure where to put this...
anyway, my laptop has this wierd restarting problem. After booting, it gets past the bios and gets into windows logo, then restarts. Ive tried to use safe mode in every possible way, but it gets stuck when loading drivers, and then restarts. The windows takes up the whole partition on the drive.
Can I use knoppix to boot the system? and if I can, then will i be able to mount the existing windows partition to retrieve my files
I am going to try to do a strict OS recovery by reinstalling over the existing windows when I have a chance, but If it doesnt work, then your advice will save me alot of time!!!
