You probably want more than a bootable floppy, as you will need a few tools to copy your remaining data to a safe drive. I highly recommend the "F.I.R.E" CD. While intented for forensics and incidents response, it includes numerous tools to deal with disks. If desperate, you can pipe 'dd' over netcat to a remote machine. http://biatchux.dmzs.com/ another nice tool, but not as feature rich, is the linuxcare bootable CD rom. It fits on a business card size CD (always good to have one in your wallet) -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Johannes Ullrich jullrich at euclidian.com pgp key: http://johannes.homepc.org/PGPKEYS -------------------------------------------------------------- "We regret to inform you that we do not enable any of the security functions within the routers that we install." support at covad.net --------------------------------------------------------------
