Not really. Boot off of a current live cd, plug in a USB drive, mount it. Mount your existing partitions and copy the files over to the USB drive. At least then your data is safe. *Then* worry about recovering your operating system. Probably need a new disk though, if this one failed badly enough to stop booting. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
