Hi Dennis, I would try to mount it in a livefile system. Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) comes there in my mind. It has some tools, which might save and restore data. You might also take a look at Recobery-is-possible (RIP), another fine rescue system. If ypur harddrive is Windows FAT or NTFS take a look at UBCD4WIN. It is a rescue system based on WinXP with a lot of tools at it.It is also a livefile system. Good luck! Hans
