My daughter has a Dell laptop, running XP, that refuses to boot. It claims the registry is corrupted. She brought it to me. I inserted her installation CD, booted from it, ran diagnostics and tried everything I know about, which isn't much. I always arrive at a screen which says either try again, or proceed and wipe out everything.
Is there any way to backup the hard disk using my Mac? I can boot the dang thing into "safe mode" which leaves me at a command prompt. Can I put it into some state that will allow me to mount its disk via USB or ethernet?
