try a linux cd-live boot disk


I did that a while back.

Neither Ubuntu or Xubuntu would work. I'm very unimpressed.


Those are live/install CDs.


Yes. And that is a good or bad thing in exactly what way ?


Try KNOPPIX 5.1.1

It was the first, and is the best live bootable, useable as a recovery
tool CD (from a certain POV).


Ok. I'll take a peek at that.
