Can I use a Linux Live CD (mint 9 isadora) to retrieve the pictures saved in Windows XP?
My laptop crashed to blue screen and I have a bunch of pictures I wish to retrieve. It worked with my pictures I saved with Windows 7, but Linux won't read the pictures saved on my laptop when I had Windows XP.

If your Linux disk can read the drive, just save the folder(s) with pictures to another good drive - USB, CD, something.
If your Linux disk cannot read the drive, try a different distro - pick an OS that reads NTFS if needed (Knoppix, BackTrack).. then look.
If the drive cannot be read, or if even linux can't find a file structure, then you need to consider "drive forensics" or "drive recovery". If these pics are important, pay an expert to do this and stop messing with the drive. If not so important, then take the opportunity to learn.

Just about ALL Linux distros will read your hard-drive, whether formatted NTFS, FAT 32, or whatever.
Seems like you have more than a windows software fault here, could be a hard-drive issue. In which case, professional recovery is the best option.
One idea would be to run Linux on the comand line, identify your hard-drive by it's letter (sda1, for example) then run 'fsck' before attempting recovery. Enter 'fsck -h' for guidance.

relies upon on what you employ it for - in case you do not favor any quite good residing house windows-purely apps then for sure Mint 9 is quicker. residing house windows 7 change into quite quick some months in the past, yet now after all safe practices updates it is sluggish like W2K.
