As i told you in previous post,this post will let you learn how to recover the files when operating system crashes.(windows based computer).
This post should help you when something went wrong with your windows and it wont boot up,and you have something precious in your c: drive(precisely %systemdrive%) which you don't wanna lose,while formatting it to reinstall windows.
But before beginning with the process you need to have a bootable USB drive or a DVD with the windows or linux (i prefer linux though,but windows will also do the job.) if you don't know how to make a bootable USB then this link is for you.
If you have a bootable linux then the task is very easy because linux (mint,ubuntu,backtrack,kali,.....etc) comes with a kickass option,Live CD.
Which allows you to directly boot in the linux without installing it in your hard-drive.when you have a bootable linux usb,plug it in your usb port then change the preference of booting from hdd to usb,and reboot your computer.Now your screen should show some option,one of which would be live cd.Choose that,and wait for a minute or two,because this takes more time than the usual boot.once IN, copy/move the content to other partition or drive.
But what to do when you don't have the linux,instead you have bootable windows(windows 7 and 8 are tested don't know about previous versions.) usb/cd drive,No serious problem yet you can backup the files.
