SOURCE: need to install start up disc (3) or do system

Just download "Hiren's Boot CD", here is the download link

http://hirens.longcomputerservices.com/Hirens.BootCD.10.1.zip

Download the file and extract it with winzip or Winrar.
Burn the ISO image and boot the system using "Hiren's Boot CD" (Set the BIos to Boot from CD-ROM).

You can now easily backup your important data to a USB external Hard drive or to a Network location or do a rescue or even do a repair, or take the drive image too.


That's it.
