If your main computer hard drive has crashed, has a virus or you need to recover deleted files, you should use the emergency boot CD.
This CD will boot up your computer and then allow you to scan your internal boot drive.
Once the scan is done, you can choose which files you want to copy over to your secondary drive (not included).

To use the Emergency Boot CD, simply insert the CD and reboot your computer.
