Sequel of my unfortunate Adventures in Linuxland (see my previous post about switching from Linux to Windows).

While I was completely unable to do anything with my Linux installation (LILO failing to start and the bootable rescue CD couldn’t repair the boot sector) I booted on Windows which was installed on another hard drive and then, using a neat software called Explore2fs (WIN32 explorer for Linux ext2fs partitions) I eventually managed to copy my /home directory to another (Windows) disk. Thank God, I did not lose my data (a few useless divx, some cool bash scripts, local mirrors of my websites and thousands of more than precious photos)
