There's one that's more accessible than WE. The Vinux project, which is 
Ubuntu Linux rescripted by the visually impaired for the visually 
impaired has been used as the backbone of a set ofaccessible disk and 
system management utilitites. The built-in screen readers and Braille 
display features start up on boot of the Live CD allowing you to browse 
the files of any system not physically destroyed.With just the Vinux 
Live CD you can browse and copy HDD files and with the added utilities 
you can clone or image the entire HDDor partitions and if possible do 
some repair of the filestructure and HDD. With just the bare Vinux Live 
CD Icopied files to a pen drive from a totally corrupted laptop that 
suffered an interrupted Microsoft restore due to a power outage but I 
haven't tried building the more advanced model. Instructions and details 
for the advanced CD build are here;
