    Default Semi-Repartition and had to stop..?

    Okay,
    I was going from an old Linux installation on my mums laptop to a newer Windows one and I suddenly realised that I hadn't backed up the address book, so i turned it off and now I'm getting error screens and I can't boot up.
    I was wondering if anyone knows any applications for Ubunutu Linux to get data semi hidden or generally what I should do?
    There's 2 ways to go I guess, take it apart and see what I can do or finish the install, and go through all her emails and re-make the address book. At the moment it looks like I'm going to end up doing the latter.
    Any help or whatever appreicated.
    i've been here for over 8 years and i don't know why

    No. My mum shouted at me til I did.
    Against me saying it'd just make it worse.

    But for anyone who cares the address book's stored on another computer. Thank god.

    I would have told my mum to **** off if she tried turning off during an OS install.
