@ Caleb,

My Toshiba Satellite A210 goes to black-screen and sais “Operating System Not Found”

Will this teqnique work for my error?

Yes, it should work if your hard drive is still in a good working shape.
Alternatively, you can install the hard drive into the external USB enclosure and connect it to another PC.

i wanna try this one. my laptop displays a black screen saying that my windows didn’t start successfully which may due to hardware and software change. it also displays the options safe mode, safe mode with networking or with command prompt, last known good configuration or start windows normally. but whatever i choose isn’t working. it just returns to that black screen over and over again.
do you think your solution may help my laptop? are my files really safe if ever i try to do it??
thank you

Your advice was a huge help!!! Knoppix would not work properly on my laptop. It booted to the menu that Greg mentions below. I tried Ubuntu, and it worked perfectly. My network card apparently failed on a Buffalo Linkstation storage server, and I was able to recover all data. Thank you very much.

You can try using an external USB enclosure instead of Knoppix CD.
Just remove the hard drive from the laptop, install into the enclosure and connect to another working PC.

Greg,

I booted the cd but did not get the desktop graphical image that you indicated. Instead I got a black screen with a list menu from 0 to 13 (ADRIANE). What am I doing wrong?

Probably your hardware not supported by this version of Knoppix.
Try Ubuntu Linux instead.
