[luau] How to repair system?

A power outage at UH last night zapped one of my linux boxes, now it 
say "OS not found" when I try to boot. 

Ideally I'd like to get it to boot normally again without wiping out 
the data, or find a way to get some of the data off before re-
installing the OS.

I have a linux bootable business card that supposedly has 
repair/recovery utilities on it that I am able to boot with. But I am 
completely clueless how to proceed after that. This is an area 
my "linux administration" books don't mention. 

There has got to be a book or a good web page out there on this topic. 
How do I find them? When I google on "repair" and "linux" I get massive 
amounts of irrelevant hits.

I guess I have to try to mount the hard drive and check it out. What 
tools do I use?
