Have you ever had that bsod and os crash when you are in the middle of something very important like finishing office reports or presentation? There is a way you can quickly go into damage control mode and finish off he work and/or copy the files to other pc/notebook without going through os reinstall or removing the hdd.

LiveCD:

A Linux live cd is a bootable cd that has dual personality
1. Operating system installer
2. Boot into the os quickly without installing the os.

Where to get a liveCD:

Live cd’s from most of the Linux distros are available and the ones that I prefer are:

2. Linux Mint
3. Fedora 12

Insert the livecd in the cd/DVD drive and you will get the boot menu as shown below
