How to rescue your data from Vista

The best way to get your data backed up is to download a Knoppix cd .iso and burn it to a disk using burn4free at www.burn4free.com. Then put the disk in and turn on the computer or reboot. After loading knoppix right click on your hard drive on the deskop and click open. Then plug in your external hard drive and notice the new icon on the deskop. Right click on this icon and click mount, then right click again and hit change read write mode, and then open that icon and copy and paste.

First impressions

I had a Sandisk Cruser Mini (512 MB) for spare so I used this as a ReadyBoost device. As reported earlier there were some consistent symptoms that the USB stick freezed Vista completely. Now it seems to work, probably because I did a fresh install of Vista. The problems were on the upgraded environment.

Hard to say wat the perfomance gain is. The machine seems more responsive.
