Has it ever happened that your Windows OperatingSystem somehow managed to crash because of Virus, Malware etc..etc.., you are not able to load the operating system and you are worried about the important data you might lose? It would be very pleasing for you to hear that "your" data in the hard disk is always safe UNLESS your hard disk has got corrupted. Thus it is always useful to keep a bootable USB drive containing the Windows OS or Linux Live OS.
It is more handy to have a Bootable Linux USB. It can help you to get your data even if you are not able to load WindowsOS completely.
Every Linux distribution that you download also has a Live format. You simply have to download the .ISO image file of a Linux that you like and make a bootable USB/CD/DVD using a software like RUFUS (Windows), UNetbootin (Linux/Windows/MacOS).
Live Linux helps you load the Linux operating system directly without installation. Later you have an option on the diesktop to Install Linux on your hard disk.
Linux Mint is most widely & famous Linux distribution used all over the world. Also it is very simple for beginners.
You can download it for free from their site below:
Also it can help you repair your file system to a certain extent if it has any bad sector. You can run fsck (files system consistency check) command in Linux terminal by typing:
fsck /dev/sdaX
to run a consistency check of your hard disk.
(sda X is the name/label for your hard disk. Usually it is name sda or sda1)
