Im working on a computer that was filled with virus/malware/spyware/junk software, just about everything you dont want on a system.
i backed up all the users data. copied it to an external HD. reinstalled windows and moved(i know i should have copied, i wasent thinking) all the data into the my documents folder. installed updates and rebooted windows. windows would not boot. the CD that i have of windows does not have windows recovery console.
I was thinking of two ways to get the data back.
1. pull the drive and use a USB to IDE adapter i have to pull the data onto my laptop.
2. pull the drive and place it in my desktop as a slave.
3. use a live cd of linux to pull the data from the computer and place it on an external hd
any suggestions or directions on how to do this? Or a better way?
