Got a problem with my Eee pc laptop and my 16gig SS hardive failed on me :evil:. I think it PCI-exspress mini or something. I take it I can not get My docs off it?

I get this error

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt.
\system31\config\system

and a list of other files that came up.
\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
\system31\hal.ddl
\system31\kdcom.dll
\system31\bootvid.dll
\system31\congig\system.log


I have check the BIOS and the hard drive is seen.

I use Ubuntu but the laptop dose not have a CD drive , so going to have to install Ubuntu onto a flash drive.

EDIT- I used Knoppix and it could not mount the Drive , going to try again later but I starting to think it fully broken and im going to lose all my school work :@.

Laptop hard drives are crap these days. If you reinstall windows you should be able to save most of your files though. Of course try and back them up first as a precaution.
