[sf-lug] Fwd: Drive Access issues

[John Jefferson Lowry IV]

For people lookign to do some system rescuing there is a great project
called System Rescure CD based on Gentoo and comes with a lot of these
things pre-installed. Just used to save a bunch of files off of my brother
laptop that windows said was unrecoverable.

Will also install to a USB drive and be bootable from that!
