Recovering data from the crashed Windows hard drive

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Howtogeek.com has a very informative post on recovering data from the crashed windows hard drive using the Ubuntu live cd. Instructions are very detailed and are very easy to follow.

If you’ve ever tried copying and pasting a multi-line address into Google Maps just to realize that an input box will only take one line at a time—meaning that you have to copy and paste each line individually—there’s a simple Firefox tweak that will solve this problem:

Type “about:config” in the location bar. In the “Filter” field type “singleline.” You can set the value to 2 for editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines, which will allow pasting of multiple lines to input boxes.
