I was helping a friend with his Windows XP box a while back. He wanted to move his music folder from one hard drive to another. For some reason the "My Music" folder would not allow him to open it. I tried to remap it to the other drive but the same type of error message came up. I had a copy of Ubuntu 9.10 in the car so went and got it and tried to boot into the live CD. Then I ran into another problem he did not have enough RAM to load Ubuntu. "Now what?" Then I remember Puppy Linux. I had not used it for a few years but remembered one of the reasons it was made was for the very problem I was having. Soon I had a CD burned with Puppy 4.3.1.
Rebooting the system started the Puppy load process. A few questions were asked allowing me to select keyboard type, locale settings, time zone, and X server (graphic mode). Once all questions where answered Puppy finished loading into RAM and I was able to boot the two hard drives, get into the "My Music" folder and transfer all to the other hard drive.
Here are a few screenshots I took on another system. The first shows the desktop the next three show the network setup.
