Look for Linux " live disks"and download the iso from the web sites . This is a disk that boots your computer in Linux without putting anything on the hard drive. You can then play with the linux system access all your hard drives ,browse the internet .get your email and all the other things you normally do without Windows knowing about it and telling Bill Gates.
Mandriva is one I prefer but Red Hat , Ubuntu , Suse ,Puppy etc all have one .
I have a Puppy system on a 1 Gig USB plugin which boots into any machine and lets me look through any unencrypted system. Lots of things you can get for Linux |
