Hi
Running windows XP and it crashed - wouldnt start up in safe mode etc.
Using unbutu running from a cd i could see all files - but couldnt start under winfdows.
Tried rebooting from an XP cd - but couldnt restart pc, tried installing xp again - but during the os installation I accepted formatting the main hard drive.
Stopped this and now cant see the original data files using unbutu.
Feel the data is still there - Can use unbutu to start up the pc from a cd -
What would be the best way to recover the data files - the pc is old so my main interest is recovering my data, I have majority of it backed up - but unfortunately there are some critical items that arent. Should know better .
Any help is gratefully recieved.
