If your computer has a crippling virus and it won't work, is it possible to save the files on the hard drive?
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes, boot from a system rescue disk and copy the files off. I use System Rescue, it's not the easiest program to use but is very powerful http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page

Be certain to scan the saved files for any possible remnant of the culprit virus! It's no fun to simply re-infect your newly cleaned system.
