Recover Hard Disk Data

[Josem]

'cause I'm a dufus, I knocked over my tower PC and apparently killed the disk drive. It now tells me that it can't boot off it.

I used the ultimatebootcd, ran the utility from my drive manufacturer (seagate) and it found one bad sector very early on. i assume this is one of the boot sectors bits, as there were no other problems.

so, i'm confident that i have a hard drive that works fine, apart from one of the boot sectors.


Any ideas on where I can get a bootable CD image that I can use to connect up to my home network and copy the important data off my hard disk? (preferably to my laptop which i have on the same network)

Alternatively, is my line of thinking way off?
