Ok- I have been giving prints of this truly incredible tutorial:


http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/index32.html

Along with the Knoppix cd for several years now.
So far the # of not only "rescue success stories" but actual Linux new users  from this project is really worth studying.
Here's the overview of WHY.

Last month my wife was ill so I was unable to run calls. One customer had a stupid employee "Virus&Crash" their primary WinXP  box. Yeah- firing the kid sadly does not make the data accessible again. The hero of their day was not so much "me" for handing his son the Shockfamily link a year ago- but Mr Shock's project itself! Well, can we see about posting the link at minimum- if not a mirror with Permission formally requested of course. A few years ago -. I asked Cedric if he minded my "handout" of his project's screen prints and he at that time replied in email-"no problem."

So I think he'd not object if formally asked. As for the Big Why? So someone searching for recovery of data from Windows will perhaps be guided to a low risk self rescue, Or perhaps be guided to a KCLUG meeting.
