Yes, guilty, I did not back up

Can I use DSL to access the files on my harddrive and save it on a USB stick?

The computer ran on WindowsXP, now crashes after booting up. Recovery CD does not help.

I am new to Linux, any advice for rookies highly appreciated! Thanks!

Solved it:

Use application "emelfm" on the desktop
goto
/mnt under the bookmarks
find the one I wanted and right clicked *mount*

But now how do I find my USB stick to copy data to?

"But now how do I find my USB stick to copy data to?"

Plug the USB-stick in and mount it using Terminal..

Code Sample

sudo su
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

And then your USB stick can be found in /mnt/sda1
