To make a long story short, it looks like my hard drive has some corrupt sectors and I am currently unable to boot up Linux due to some missing files. I'm hoping the hard drive isn't on it's way to being completely dead. I want to try to salvage any data I can that is on the hard drive (like the e-mail I downloaded before things went wrong), as I don't expect to get things running as they were without a reinstall. I tried installing a program called explore2fs on my Windows partition (separate hard drive) which is supposed to be able to read ext2 and ext3 partitions, but the problems prevented any access. I'm thinking of maybe finding one of those distros to where I can run Linux off of a CD (suggestions, anyone?), try to access the drive, and get the important hard to replace data. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. And for those wondering, I was never able to make the time to get the CD-RW drive working so I could backup the data for circumstances such as these.
Thanks, Steve
