Do Linux live Cd’s work well with corrupted windows systems that cannot boot?

Posted on July 31, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I am made to believe that many a times hard disks wont mount and hence one cannot backup the data if windows didn’t shut down properly or cannot start?
is that true?
whats the work around?
Secondly…I always wondered , what can Linux do that windows cannot.
Third: I just cannot get my ppoe connection that requires a user name pswd. to connect to the internet , wired connection that is. The service provider just throws in a LAN cable that plugs into the Ethernet port..and that’s it.
Fourth: I cant get Ubuntu to play my media files: what more should i do?
