Emachine computer glitched during a power outage now windows won't load. Is there a way to pull files off of that computer Perhaps a USB to USB from other computer as if from external hard drive?
Dependably, there are quite a few ways to do this: Boot into another operating system live, such as 'Ubuntu', and start to pull the information off onto a USB device. Any Linux OS's are free to download and use. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Another great way is to take the hard drive out of your computer, and put it into another computer with a main hard drive already in it; this way you can just put the files onto the other hard drive, or another USB device. Either way it may take a little research on your part, but this is a fairly common issue, and is not that hard to solve Cheers, Frances
