Sounds like the hard drive failure is the probable crash of windows. As for recovering, I would say grab what you can, there is little hope for those with read/write errors, as they are most likely corrupted...
Advice: be carefull when plugging things into his system, my friend had a pc whose power supply worked, but not completely, every hard drive he plugged into it was killed. --------- Grant Kelly wrote: My friend brought over a crashed windows box and wants me to see if i can recover any files from the hard drives. I got them mounted in knoppix and was able to copy some files to a network share, but after a while, there are a lot of read/write errors and cp fails. Does anyone know a better way to recover files off of a failing hard drive in knoppix (or any other live CD)?
