The beta win 7 is a waste of time tbh. If the machine was not yours what data do you want to recover anyway?
There was some data on it that needed to retrieved, but as it seems that corrupted, I might as well start afresh... thing is, there's no disks with it for recovery.

Was hoping to fix it via the back door (so to speak)

If all else fails, it'll smell of cats and taste of linux

Ok, got isoburner and am going to create an ubuntu cd... never done it before so things might start to get interesting shortly (having some food first!)

So it's going to smell of cats and taste of ubuntu (with any luck!)

Any hints and tips from this point forward, please do!
