Is It Possible To Access Linux Files In Windows?

YES. Actually there are some software that you can use to access Linux Files under your Windows environment. You can use a freeware program like LINUX READER, that can allows you to access your files on your Linux partition directly on your Windows system.

DiskInternals Linux Reader program plays the role of a bridge between your Windows and Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems. This easy-to-use tool runs under Windows and allows you to browse Ext2/Ext3 Linux file systems and extract files from there.

How To Access Hard Disk When OS Crash ?

How To Access Hard Disk When OS Crash ?

Many of my friends when their Hard disk OS crash, they simply format the PC because they thought that they cannot access the data inside the OS. But they're wrong.Even if our OS crash, we still can backup and access our data inside the crash OS. This crash usually cause by the virus, a lot of bad sector etc. I bet most of you have seen the blue screen of death when your OS crash.

How To Access The Data ?
You can access the data by using Portable LiveCD like portable XP, or Linux Live CD.Most commonly use of Linux Live CD is SLAX, Ubuntu and Knoppix but I prefer SLAX.

All you have to do is to make your computer to "boot from CD" when the computer start. To do this, go to BIOS and change the boot priority.
Done.

Put in your newly burned SALX Linux cd, and restart your PC. Your PC should be able to detect the cd and boot from it. Successful booting will end you up on this page:


You should be able to see your hard drive content from here.No need for you to mount the partitionsince its already mount if you're using SLAX. If you decided to do backup for important files, get a pendrive and copy the data to it.

Done. Hope this guide will help you a bit when your OS crashed.
