What would be nice if you made a quick video of
>>> How to copy Windows files...
as in data recovery in a XP...Vista...Win7 crashed machine.
For newbies in trouble that would be great.
I would do it myself if you enjoy hearing a buzz saw in the background,
and have you seen my pic....scary.

This is a good guide.
Recover files from Windows hard disk using Puppy Linux

""""
My old XP >> Clean Windows.
On the desktop...mount the hard drives.....
Just enlarge/stretch the file managers window....
Select the files you wish to delete.
Hit the Control Key and click on the mouse
to highlight them.
Right click the mouse to delete.
Then delete said files as necessary.
Do a little test first with an unimportant file..

Unmount any drives before shutting Puppy down.
::::::::::::::
How to use Puppy Linux to clean XP
Go to :
Recycler: and delete the files in there.
System Volume Information: and delete the lot.
Next click on:
Documents and Settings
It drops down and shows you
Owners Name...whatever you called yourself...
there might be extras if family members logon.
Mine shows:
Administrator
All Users
Default Service
Local Service
Network Service
One
Others may have additional names.
Clean each user the same way.
Open all the Cookies folder of each of the above and remove index data file and any other cookies.
Open the Recent folder and delete the contents.
Open Local settings of all of them as well.
Open Temporary files and then Content IE5 and delete the index.dat and everything else.
Open the Temp file and delete everything.
Open the History folder and proceed to the History.IE5 folder and delete everything.
Next select the Windows folder:
Drop down to system32.
Open that up and drop to config...open that up,
drop to systemprofile and open that..
Sometimes Puppy loses the plot here and exits out.
That is why it pays to DEFRAG Windows first,
even for 5 minutes if your hard drive is OK!,
Although if the drive is dodgy this is not a good idea.
Open MUT? again ...if this happens.
and open systemprofile and then config.
Delete anything in the Recent folder,
go to the Local Settings here
and delete files as explained above in the Temp, History and
Temporary Internet Files of Documents and Settings.
Fnally delete
Pagefile.sys and hyberfil.sys. in the root of C:\ drive installation.
DO NOT TOUCH PROGRAM FILES
Also check the other drives.
Care needed here because Puppy sees your
hidden partitions...say for Acer..HP etc.
