A programmer at work had a relatively new Lenovo laptop crash 2 days ago. It would not boot. He bought a usb external hard drive case with the idea of putting the hard drive in the case and using it as a external drive just to retrieve his data files. Lenovo has special connectors that did not allow him to use it in the case so that didn’t work.
He hit http://www.bootdisk.com/popfiles.htm downloaded the package on another PC for $4.00; Burned an image to a CD. He put that CD in the dead Lenovo which it booted from (DOS-type interface) then ran the last program in the posted list, (NTFS Read/Write Bootdisk And Bootable CDs). He chose checkdisk /f. After fixing a bunch of problems and following the prompts, he rebooted the Lenovo and everything came back up fine. He is now doing regular backups.
