All, My wife has a Dell set up as a dual boot with Fedora 6 and Windows XP. Over the weekend a shutdown attempt went awry and something got corrupted on her machine. Neither Fedora or Windows would boot. Fedora would get past GRUB, but hang at the second step in the detailed boot process. Windows would also hang somewhere. I gave her the FC10 LiveCD to boot from. She was able to do so and used the Logical Volume Management tool to mount both the Linux partition and the NTFS partition. She was then able to remove all her files off to a USB disk. She has now installed FC10 and is rebuilding her development environment (she did not reinstall Windoze..). The LiveCD proved to be a very useful tool to enable her to recover her files. There may have been another way to recover from this, but since Windoze was also hosed (even worse than it typically is... ) it felt like there might not have been much that could have been done.
