MySLAX Creator

hello, i downloaded this program MySLAX Creator, firstly i havent a clue how to use it. im downloading a 190mb SLAX iso file which im going to burn to cd. but wot is the MySLAX Creator program?

I assume i just burn the ISO to cd and boot the cd to recover files on the hdd

please could someone tell me how to use it

 

I think SLAX is a mini distribution of Slackware (Linux).

It runs off a cd or pen drive, and possibly would be able to recover files, I've never tried it for that.

For SLAX, check here

You've just changed it!

Yes, you assumed right, if you are using Windows, you could use Nero to burn the iso to a disk (make sure you don't copy the ISO to the disk, but something like "Burn Image to disc".

 

I don't know who suggested using SLAX, but its unnecessary. SLAX is a Linux distribution, a complete operating system.

Try downloading and burning [google]Knoppix[/google] from the website. Download the latest stable .iso and burn it to a CD using a CD burning program. Boot from it and you'll be put into a live Linux system. From there, using the Konqueror file manager you can find the files you need and copy them to a pen drive etc.

 

am i right in thinking that SLAX is an operating system, if so will it detect my raid0 hdd so i can recover the files and do i need additional software to recover files? (or is it the slax setup i need to copy over to the operating system so i can install it there)

sorry but i havent a single clue what im doing

 

Slax is a live Linux distro aswell, what's the difference?

As to raid0, I'm not sure, I've never tried SLAX and raid (I've barely tried SLAX).

 

He's trying to use the MySlax creator. Why do that when you can download a CD version? Up to you whether you use Knoppix Live CD or SLAX live CD. But MySLAX creator isn't relevant.

 

ive got the iso, gona burn it to cd so it will boot. then what?

 

SLAX wasn't created for recovering files. Linux live CDs can be used for that purpose, but they're not made to do it as the sole function.

Once you've burned the linux iso to a CD, boot from it and when its all loaded, use the file manager to navigate to your windows partition where you can find your files. (If its not damaged beyond repair). Then its up to you how you recover, pen drive maybe?

 

thanks for all ur advice ill give it a shot

 

Addis mentioned Knoppix somewhere above.

Its dead easy to use. Your hard drive will appear on the desktop. Use K3b to burn your files to a disk. Ive used it on several computers for solely this task and its worked a treat everytime. No compatibility issues or anything like that.

 

dammit just how typical is this it seems fate doesnt want me to do this my nero cd is fcuked it wont install nero so cant burn anything

ive found a program called "Recover it All Professional" v4.1.622 DEMO im gona try that ive looked for Knoppix in torrents so im getting that to try it too, in pirate bay it said "knoppix std" 496MB so we'll see

 

Hang on newpaws.
Get the Alcohol 120% demo. Its great for burning .iso
Alcohol Soft trial version download
It doesnt have any limitations

And knoppix.....
KNOPPIX - Mirrors

Getting knoppix from a normal torrent site will take forever, there should be a mirror which will let you download at your max speed.

 

thanks im getin the 700mb knoppix v5 iso. alcahol said i needed to reset so will do that when i get knoppix iso. here is the list in the ftp:

i take it i only download the iso file?

Thats looks to be the one you need yeah. I hate it when there is a list of stuff to choose from. Its sods law you pick the wrong one.
Ive never botherd with getting md5 checksums. Never suffered cos it either!

 

thanks reet well ill burn that to cd and then hopefully ill get me files back

 

Newpaws you can get the .iso from the knoppix website without using a torrent.

 

thanks for advice im already 50% of download on FTP dont fink much point in stopping it???

do i still need to install the SLAX for knoppix to work?

 

No, Knoppix and SLAX are completely different. And you only need one of them.

 

Once knoppix is on a cd it will boot up just like any other operating system which is installed on your harddrive. You dont even need a harddrive for knoppix (or most if not all live cds)

 

now ive seen some lame software in my time but this beats em all...

i dragged the iso to alcahol 120% and clicked START now its saying "please insert a blank cd /dvd into the drive to continue" and in the white box it says "a blank dvd is inserted"



WELL GET ON WITH THE BURNING THEN YOU STUPID DUMB P.O.S.!
