[Nottingham] Dual boot failure

[Anil Kiral]

One way to recover your photos would be to boot with a live cd/USB. Ubuntu installation cd should work as it allows you to test the OS before installing. Unless the file system is corrupted, you'll be able to mount the Ubuntu partition with your photos on and copy the photos to a USB, a cd, the windows partition, or whatever.

For some reason or reasons unknown windows did an automatic checkdisk thing and completely messed up the dual boot so that all I get when I select ubuntu is a console screen with 'grub>'.  What I want to know is how can I recover my photos from the ubuntu partition before I do a complete reinstall (probably without windows).
