[PLUG] Distributions for computer recovery

[Colin Kuskie]

My friend's computer got Window'ed (loss of computer function due
to Window, i.e. virus, blue screen, etc.)  They've asked if there's
anything that I can do to help with data recovery before they try
to send if off and spend a lot of money.

Assuming that this isn't a hardware failure on the drive itself,
what do y'all recommend for doing data recovery?  Knoppix, Tom's
Root Boot, something else?
