Hello TPU,
So I have had little experience diving into Ubuntu. With not so great results, but did enjoy the ability to have control.
One of my friends has a hard drive that is not booting correctly in their iMac. I want to try and recover the data with my compy, but as we know, Windows will not be able to read the drive.
However, I was wondering if I could burn Ubuntu to a CD, and use the non-install method to read the drive, and copy the files like her photos and 3D files to my windows drive. This would save me an OS install on my emergency drive, and make her happy to have her old school work around.
Is this an easy task, or am I over my head?
Thanks to any help or direction you can offer.
