Scenario: You're hours away from submitting that big research paper or business report. It represents significant discipline and hard work over several months. You're polishing up the conclusion and are about to start writing executive summary, when *BEEP!* your computer reboots itself. You wait, but Windows won't start. Now what?! With a Linux LiveCD handy, you'll be able to do several things: (1) perhaps fix your Windows installation, (2) rescue your file and copy it to a safe location, (3) continue working on your paper and submit it using the applications on the LiveCD. For options one and two, please refer to eHow articles in the Resources section. This article provides the steps necessary to accomplish option three. You'll boot up to an alternate operating system with the LiveCD, use the applications that come with it to continue writing your paper, and finally, submit it when you're finished.
