System Recovery with Knoppix

Posted by michael on from the handy-stuff dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This article shows how to access a non-booting Linux system with a Knoppix CD, get read-write permissions on configuration files, create and manage partitions and filesystems, and copy files to various storage media and over the network. You can use Knoppix for hardware and system configuration detection and for creating and managing partitions and filesystems. You can do it all from Knoppix's excellent graphical utilities, or from the command line."

    I don't do that. I don't use Windows servers. If a Windows client breaks to the extent that it needs a bootable CD to fix, I wipe it. Users know this drill.

    But still and all, it's a good idea to have set aside just in case someone's life just will *end* if they can't get that Powerpoint file out of My Documents.
