    data salvage

    ok heres what happened, my dad had a desktop he dual booted between xp and fedora 10, and now he needs the data off it.  When we plug it into a linux machine (ubuntu or fedora) we cannot seem to see the fedora partition of the computer, however the grub boot loader and windows parition comes up fine... any ideas on how to get the data off?

    Weird.  Can you see the partition with a LiveCD?  If so use a flash drive to grab the data.

    Freedom's the Answer.
