有时Windows就是无法启动。没关系，您一直在定期备份或将硬盘与Microsoft OneDrive 或 Google Drive(Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive)等云服务同步。你没有备份吗？你没有云存储服务(storage service)？哦。没关系，我们有这个。
让我们使用Linux Live CD进入该硬盘驱动器并拯救我们最重要的文件。
您需要一个Linux Live CD 或 USB .ISO 文件(Linux Live CD or USB .ISO file)、一个名为Rufus的免费程序、一个用于放置Live CD的空USB 驱动器(USB drive)，以及另一个用于放置您恢复的文件的USB 驱动器。(USB drive)
用于恢复文件的USB 驱动器(USB drive)需要格式化为FAT32 文件(FAT32 file)格式。我们将向您展示如何获取Linux Live CD，然后使用它从死机中恢复Windows文件。(Windows)
什么是 Linux Live CD？
Linux是一个开源操作系统 (OS)。您可能已经听说过Linux，但认为您对它没有任何用处。
Live CD 或 Live USB提供了一种在计算机上使用操作系统的方法，而无需将其安装在计算机上。我们将坚持使用
USB 类型(USB type)，因为很多计算机不再有CD 或 DVD 播放器(CD or DVD players)。
制作 live USB后，将其插入已关闭的计算机。然后启动计算机并告诉它从
USB启动。操作系统(operating system)及其所有程序都保留在USB上(USB)。它们不会安装在您的计算机上。
Live USB将访问您计算机的RAM 和 CPU(RAM and CPU)以运行。它还可以让您访问计算机中的任何硬盘驱动器。
如何获得 Linux Live CD？
希望您在硬盘停止工作之前完成此操作。如果没有，请询问朋友是否可以使用他们的计算机制作一个。
首先，您需要下载一个Linux 发行版(Linux distribution)来满足您的需求。那里有几个。让我们使用Ultimate Boot CD ( UBCD )。它可以免费下载，并带有许多用于驱动器克隆(drive cloning)、数据恢复、内存和 CPU 测试(memory and CPU testing)以及BIOS的程序和工具。了解如何使用这些工具，您也可以修复故障硬盘(fix your failed hard drive)。
您可以通过点对点 ( P2P ) 工具下载它，或者从列出的镜像站点之一直接下载。
如果您想尝试不同的Live CD，这里有更多选择：
还要确保下载Rufus。这是制作可启动USB驱动器的最简单、最快捷的方法。
如何制作可启动的Linux USB 驱动器(Linux USB Drive)？
Rufus是一个很棒的小程序，可以帮助您将任何
.ISO 文件(.ISO file)制作成可启动的USB 驱动器(USB drive)。您已经下载了它，所以让我们打开它。
确保(Make sure)您选择了正确的USB 驱动器(USB drive)。此过程将完全擦除USB 驱动器(USB drive)。Rufus已经设置为您需要的正确设置。单击选择(SELECT)
按钮选择我们的 UBCD .ISO。
当文件资源管理器(file explorer)打开时，导航到您保存UBCD .ISO 的位置并双击(UBCD .ISO and double-click)它以选择它。
现在，单击开始(START)
按钮。当您将鼠标悬停在按钮上时，您会收到一条警告，“这将破坏目标上的任何数据！”
您将收到另一个警告，即您选择的 USB 驱动器上的所有数据，“......将被销毁。” 鲁弗斯不是在开玩笑。单击(Click)“确定(OK)”继续。
Rufus将开始制作可启动的USB 驱动器(USB drive)。你会看到一个进度条(progress bar continue)在底部继续。使用USB 3(USB 3) 闪存驱动器(flash drive)只需一两分钟。
当状态栏显示READY时，单击CLOSE。您的UBCD可启动USB 驱动器(USB drive)现已准备就绪。
如何使用USB 驱动器(USB Drive)启动计算机(Boot My Computer)？
这取决于计算机。使用USB 驱动器(USB drive)启动的方法有多种，因此最好找到适合您计算机的详细信息。常见的线程是，当您打开计算机时，您必须按特定键或键组合才能启动进入BIOS并将默认启动驱动器(default boot drive)更改为USB。
查看我们的文章，了解如何在BIOS中更改(BIOS)引导顺序(boot sequence)。有些笔记本电脑允许您启动到BIOS之外的启动菜单(boot menu)，您可以在其中选择从USB 驱动器(USB drive)启动。
使用UBCD(UBCD)重新启动计算机后，您将看到一个基于文本的菜单。使用箭头键(arrow keys)进入Parted Magic，然后点击 Enter 将其选中。
现在您将获得另一个包含三个不同选项的文本菜单。(text menu)您可以选择1. 默认设置（从 RAM 运行）(1.
Default settings (Runs from RAM))或2. 使用默认设置(2.
Live with default settings)。如果一个不起作用，请尝试另一个。
当计算机启动
Parted Magic 桌面(Parted Magic desktop)时，您会看到一些文本滚动(text scroll)。然后你会看到一个与Windows(Windows)不完全不同的桌面。
在左上角附近，您会看到文件管理器(File Manager)。那是 Windows Explorer 的UBCD等价(Windows Explorer)物(UBCD equivalent)。
双击(Double-click)打开它。
您会在文件管理器的左侧看到几个驱动器。哪一个是安装Windows(Windows)的驱动器可能很明显，也可能不是。确定的方法是您会看到一个名为Windows的文件夹。
当您找到它时，您已经找到了包含您要恢复的文件的驱动器。浏览(Navigate)那里以找到您要查找的文件。单击(Click)Users > Your
Account ，其中您的帐户是您帐户的名称(s name)。
在那里，您会看到我的文档、我的图片(My Pictures)、桌面(Desktop)等。您可能会在此处找到要恢复的文件。找到它们后，您可以像在Windows中一样选择它们。右键单击(Right-click)并复制文件。
然后寻找您将在其中粘贴文件的其他USB 驱动器。(USB drive)一旦你找到它，它就像右键单击和粘贴(Paste)一样简单。
现在您的文件在您的USB 驱动器(USB drive)上，一旦修复，就可以放回您的计算机上。
关闭文件管理器，然后单击(File Manager and click)屏幕左下角的开始菜单按钮。在下图中，它周围有一个红色方块。然后点击注销(Logout)。
将打开另一个窗口，其中包含有关如何注销的一些选项。单击关闭计算机(Turn Off Computer)。
计算机关闭后，取出USB驱动器并妥善保管，直到计算机重新启动并运行。
How to Retrieve Windows Files Using a Linux Live CD
Sometimes Windows јust won’t start. That’s alright, you’ve
been making regular backups or syncing your hard drіve with a cloud service
like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drivе. You haven’t been making backups? You
don’t have a cloυd storage service? Oh. That’s okay, we’ve got this.
Let’s use a Linux Live CD to get in to that hard drive and
rescue our most important files.
You’ll need a Linux Live CD or USB .ISO file, a free program called Rufus, an empty USB drive to put the Live CD on, and another USB drive to put your recovered files on.
The USB drive for your recover files needs to be formatted to FAT32 file format. We’ll show you how to get the Linux Live CD and then use it to recover Windows files from your dead computer.
What is a Linux Live CD?
Linux is an open source operating system (OS). You may have
already heard about Linux but didn’t think you’d have any use for it.
A Live CD or Live USB provides a way to use an OS on a
computer, without installing it on the computer. We’re going to stick to the
USB type, since so many computers don’t have CD or DVD players anymore.
Once you’ve made the live USB, you insert it in to your
turned off computer. Then you start the computer and tell it to boot from the
USB. The operating system and all its programs stay on the USB. They don’t
install on your computer.
The live USB will access your computer’s RAM and CPU to
function. It will also give you access to any hard drives that are in your
computer.
How Do I Get a Linux Live CD?
Hopefully, you’ve done this before your hard drive stopped
working. If not, ask a friend if you could use their computer to make one.
First, you need to download a Linux distribution that does what you need it to do. There are several out there. Let’s use Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD). It is free to download and comes with a lot of programs and tools for drive cloning, data recovery, memory and CPU testing, and BIOS. Get to know how to use these tools and you can possibly fix your failed hard drive too.
You can download it through a peer-to-peer (P2P) tool or do
a direct download from one of the mirror sites listed.
If you’d like to try a different Live CD, here are some more
options:
- SystemRescue CD – Has antivirus, malware and rootkit removal, and other tools
- Hiren’s Boot CD – Features Mini Windows XP, so you can use Windows tools.
- FalconFour’s UBCD – Similar to Hiren’s but with more tools loaded in Mini Windows XP.
- GParted Live – Mostly focused on hard drive partition management.
- Trinity Rescue Kit – Text based interface, good recovering deleted files or changing passwords.
Also make sure to download Rufus. It’s the easiest and fastest way to make bootable USB drives.
How Do I Make a Bootable Linux USB Drive?
Rufus is a great little program that can help you make any
.ISO file into a bootable USB drive. You’ve already downloaded it, so let’s
open it.
Make sure you have the correct USB drive selected. This
process will completely erase the USB drive. Rufus will already be set to the
right setting you need. Click on the SELECT
button to choose our UBCD .ISO.
When the file explorer opens, navigate to where you saved
the UBCD .ISO and double-click on it to select it.
Now, click on the START
button. When you hover over the button, you will get a warning, “This will
DESTROY any data on the target!”
You’ll get another warning that all the data on the USB
drive that you selected, “…WILL BE DESTROYED.” Rufus isn’t kidding. Click on OK to continue.
Rufus will start to make the bootable USB drive. You’ll see
a progress bar continue across the bottom. It only takes a minute or two, with
a USB 3 flash drive.
When the status bar says READY, click on CLOSE.
Your UBCD bootable USB drive is now ready.
How Do I Boot My Computer with a USB Drive?
It depends on the computer. There are several ways to boot with a USB drive, so it’s best to find the specifics for your computer. The common thread is that when you turn the computer on, you’ll have to press a specific key, or combination of keys, to boot into BIOS and change the default boot drive to your USB.
Check out our article that shows you how to change the boot sequence in the BIOS. Some laptops will allow you to boot to a boot menu outside of BIOS, where you can choose to boot from the USB drive.
Once you’ve rebooted your computer with UBCD, you’ll see a
text-based menu. Use your arrow keys to go down to Parted Magic and tap enter to select it.
Now you’ll get another text menu with three different
choices. You can choose either 1.
Default settings (Runs from RAM) or 2.
Live with default settings. If one doesn’t work, try the other.
You’ll see some text scroll by as the computer starts up the
Parted Magic desktop. Then you’ll see a desktop that’s not completely unlike Windows.
Near the top-left corner, you’ll see File Manager. That’s the UBCD equivalent of Windows Explorer.
Double-click on that to open it.
You’ll see several drives in the left-side of the File
Manager. It may be obvious which one is the drive that Windows is installed on
or it might not. The sure way to tell is that you’ll see a folder called Windows.
When you find that, you’ve found the drive with the files
that you wish to recover. Navigate through there to find the files you’re
looking for. Click through Users > Your
Account where Your Account is your account’s name.
In there, you’ll see My Documents, My Pictures, Desktop, and
so on. That’s likely where you’ll find the files you want to recover. When you
find them, you can select them just like you would in Windows. Right-click and
copy the files.
Then look for your other USB drive where you will paste the
files. Once you’ve found it, it’s as simple as right-click and Paste.
Now your files are on your USB drive, ready to put back on
your computer once it’s fixed.
Close out File Manager and click on the start menu button in
the bottom-left corner of the screen. In the picture below, there’s a red
square around it. Then click on Logout.
Another window will open with some choices on how you can
log out. Click on Turn Off Computer.
Once the computer is shut down, remove your USB drives and
put the away for safekeeping, until your computer is up and running again.
