Re: Hard drive crashed -- need advice
You should be able to see/read NTFS (what WindowsXP, Vista, and 7 use) from within Ubuntu. I would not recommend writing to it (not safe), but reading from it (for example, to copy files off it) is safe. Try opening nautlius (or open a command prompt and type "nautilus" without the quotes and press enter. Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal for the command prompt.
It browses much like Windows Explorer would on Windows. There you can click on stuff, even Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste elsewhere/etc...
I just read where you apparently have your Windows 7 disk but can't boot off that disk though? ... That's an entirely different problem from anything dealing with your hard drive. You may have to change boot order in your BIOS or might have to press a certain button to boot off DVD.
