Your window affected by virus (or anything) and cannot start. But you got important stuff in the partition and 'formatting' will delete the thing
Dont worry there is a way to "get it back before format" which is by using LIVE CD
Let me cut to the point else read the whole story
Use Ubuntu LIVE CD
What is LIVE CD?
It is like "installing operating system temporarily" and in these case I'm suggesting you to use "Ubuntu Live Pendrive"
What can you do with Temporary Operating System?
You will able to access the partition (as long as not corrupted or damaged) and take anything you want to save first
Real story, I have been helping 2 of my friend because of their PC cannot boot
These happen a long time ago but he remind me about it today
Why pendrive and does it possible?
- Yes, you only need 1GB pendrive (is already enough) and LIVE Pendrive is better in term of size and options.
- Notebook does not have CD/DVD ROM so pendrive is the solution
How to have these "Ubuntu LIVE Pendrive?"
- Go to these website and download it http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
- Have a pendrive and make it bootable pendrive. The tutorial was on the download link
- Go to your "cannot start" PC, put the LIVE Pendrive and start, make sure to change your first boot to CD (I think to CD is already can be detected)
- The Ubuntu LIVE Pendrive will loading and you will be using Ubuntu to backup your data before formatting
