Download an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop CD. Once booted, you can "apt-get install backuppc", and read your data. Or take that CD an use the USB creator to make a USB boot disk with persistent storage image. Boot the USB disk, install backuppc, and shut down. Save for later. Regards, Tyler -- "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men — not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular." -- Edward R.
