Nearly dead hard drive, need a little help.

[Streeteh]

Just had a quick go with Trinity Rescue Kit, impressive piece of kit but it effectively gave up on the drive. I'm considering doing the same tbh, i've been telling her to buy an external HDD and backup her stuff for over a year now but she's ignored me. Fortunately i backed up all her photos and documents about 2 months ago.

Gonna call it a day and look into getting linux up and running again tomorrow for one last big push. Thanks for the advice guys, i may well end up back in here clueless once again.
