Solve : Vicious Malware: Internet Security 2010 + Bluescreen ("of death")?

Answer»

ok, I think I'm close to a solution.

I want to partition the "real" ubuntu so that I can use this tutorial to get to my hard drive: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

Can I DOWNLOAD and install 9.10 from the ubuntu website and have three paritions? (windows xp (dead), 9.04, 9.10?

Or, can I just update to 9.10 to void the wubi installation so that I can have ALL the menu options ?I will try WineHQ and BartPE .Use the Live CD approach...no need to installQuote from: patio on January 16, 2010, 10:37:42 AM

Use the Live CD approach...no need to install

I WENT to 9.10, but no luck. I still can't see the windows drive from any menu list.None of my previous methods worked, so I'm trying to get a visual mounting program to work, but none are showing up in the menu. (system tools).

I found out this INFO though: /dev/sda1

I need to: sudo mount /dev/sda1/usr/myname/tmp

somehow..Solution

I found my windows files in "file system/host" (ubuntu). :rolleyes:

All windows files of a wubi ubuntu install are STORED in "file system/host". (courtesy of ubuntu forums.org)

For FUTURE reference:

- If you did not do a wubi install but the normal ubuntu install, simply click - Places/x.0 GB Media (computer, x.0GB Media)

- If you did not do a wubi install but the normal ubuntu install, and you cannot see the Media Drive, try mounting your windows drive with the ntfs configuration tool: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows

- check: "filesystem/host" regardless

- If you do not have any version of linux installed but have come across this problem (Bsod), boot up a live ubuntu cd:

- If you do not have any version of linux installed and prefer a windows based alternative to seek the files on your hard drive try a live windows cd: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/livecd.html (Bart's PE Builder)
Thanks patio, I really appreciate your help.
