Thread: want to recover files (No boot)


2days ago, installed ubuntu 11.10 wubi on windows7.
everything's fine until i cant boot after installing nvidia graphic driver which replaces old one.

i have root.disk to recovery of important files.
m in need of lost files.

should do? m browsing web & reading forums, trying files in time.
need them job.
in advance.

i read forums , solved myself..
made following steps:

1. make usb stick "installer ubuntu" using unetbootin-windows-563.exe
2. boot usb stick > live cd no install > ubuntu starts usb.
3. open terminal
a) sudo fdisk -l (to see disks)
b) sudo mkdir /win (to create "win" folder in "system files" of ubuntu)
c) sudo mount /dev/sdax /win (to mount drive sdax (x refer drive root.disk exists) win)
d) sudo mkdir /vdisk (vdisk folder)
e) sudo "sudo mount -o loop /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /vdisk (this makes files in root.disk seen in vdisk folder in system file)

anyway
