A few weeks ago my computer just refused to boot. Off to the shop to buy a laptop thinking that recent info not backed up was now lost.
Back on line with my brand new laptop I checked the computer help pages on this site and with
Markj's (linux live cd) suggestion I sent off for there latest CD which arrived Saturday.
With my very limited computer knowledge I was able to access all of the files I needed and transfer them to my new laptop.
I would like to say a big thank you to Mark and the other techies.

They are all worth their weight in
Glad you managed to save your files.

The moral of the story is Backup, Backup, Backup, on a regular basis, and not to the same hard drive.
It is not until you loose your data that you really learn the lesson. A couple of years ago my computer just died. I thought, no problem, it's all backed up to an external hard drive. Guess what, that died as well. I lost everything in a week. But like Keith, I managed to slowly recover the data.
