Hello!
I am attempting to repair/recover a Dell Vista OS. I had done the automatic repair, and I am getting a windows prompt with the "Other User" login. I have read through some other posts, and it appears that I may have made a mistake and I should backup any important files before proceeding.
I have a fairly large hard drive. Can you point me to the documentation how to save my important stuff before doing a system restore, please?
Should I do anything else before backing up files and doing a system restore?
Thank you!
Paul

So, disregard the previous request to view files using Ubuntu. I created a bootable CD and can see my hard drive just fine (I don't even get a mount error). Before I proceed with backing files up, is there any way to repair this? The biggest USB drive I have is 8GB and I have a 120GB hard drive, so I am trying to avoid purchasing more software/hardware? Did I miss a step with the repair utility?
