Hi,
My laptop (acer travelmate 2414wlmi) is not loading xp at all. I turn it on, the acer screen loads, and then it's just permanent darkness with a flashing underscore in the top left.
I would like to recover my files to an external hard drive before doing a full system restore. I ran check disk on the windows recovery cd, as well as avira antivir, but neither had any effect.
I tried Ubuntu, which has worked for me before, but my files did not appear. Only system files and acer disc were visible.
Is there anything similar to ubuntu I can use to recover my files?
Is there anything else I could try?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
