Hello I am going to install Debian Linux on my computer but I want to do it from a USB drive rather than a CD-ROM. How can I do it. Drive is 2GB Kingston Data Traveler, and my computer can boot from USB’s. I am running windows XP and I have a live CD of Ubuntu 7.10 with no internet working on it.

I have (or better put, used to have) a dual boot setup of my laptop. The hard disk crashed and left me with some data to save, unfortunately the partition is inaccessible with many things I tried, including live cd’s (now I’m under Ubuntu live). I am using testdisk, and this is the table:
D HPFS – NTFS 0 1 1 9728 254 63 156296322
D FAT32 LBA 1803 1 1 4255 254 63 39407382 [NO NAME]
D Linux 4256 0 1 9543 254 63 84951720 [/]
D Linux 4256 1 1 5806 254 63 24916752
D Linux Swap 5807 1 1 5997 254 63 3068352
D Linux 5998 1 1 9728 254 63 59938452 [Linux_home]
D Linux Swap 9544 1 1 9728 254 63 2971962
My data is on the partition starting at 5998. Almost anything I try seems to be illegal. How can I resolve this mess?
Thanks…

Hello, this is what happened (im running on a laptop)
-windows xp crashed (cant fix it)
- cant reinstall windows in another folder
all I want, is to recover my files, is there any way I can copy files in to my external hardrive from DOS? or anytype of connection from my crashed computer, to this other computer and send files through a USB cable or firewire??
or any live linux cd (not dvd) that will allow me to read my windows NTFS files, and then burn them into a cd?
i dunno… any ideas anyone? thanks!
thanks
thank you, but this computer is a laptop, and I think it will be hard to remove the hard rive just to put it in an enclousre dont you think?
I’m Using Knoppix Linux and i want to write partitions on my A Data 2 Gb flash drive so that i can have a live cd on that drive. It is in FAT 32 format and the CFDISK program wont let me write partitions because it says Fatal Error: Bad primary Partition 0. Partition Begins with end-of-disk. My ultimate goal is to have linux on a pendrive to boot to other computers and the instructions i got tell me to write partitions.

I’ve had my laptop since Christmas, and I recently kicked smelly vista into the trash and put windows 7 beta on. [Don't even think about saying that that's my problem, because it is much more stable than vista!!] So anyway, recently my computer wouldn’t boot after left unplugged and had the battery die, and I used an Ubuntu Live CD to try to copy my data out, but It was unable to mount the drive and said something about ntfs inconsistencies, corruption, or hardware failure [please! no! I'd rather data loss!] So, I’ve removed my drive from my laptop and will connect it to an external hard drive assembly to run chkdsk under linux’s reccomendation, and if that doesn’t help, I need some suggestions for data recovery software. Thanks in advance!
