Windows ME hdd needs rescue
Hi. My mom had an old compaq with windows me. It crashed recently, such that it now boots into the desktop, reboots immediately, ad infinitum. She has some un-backed up financial data on there. I pulled the hdd out and put it in an external casing, hoping I could mount it like an external hdd. (I run heron.) I saw it once under "Computer", but it said it couldn't mount, and now I see it no more. I tried booting from it (there's a "USB Memory" option when you use f12 to enter the boot menu at startup), but it doesn't even seem to try. goes straight to GRUB and ubuntu.
I'm a noob. Be gentle. Oh...and she's thinking of switching over (she just got a laptop with vista and i've been preaching the word). if the community can help, it might win a convert.
Thanks all!
