   "is not working" does not mean much. If you can't connect to it via   
   network, then use a USB stick or external hard drive to copy and carry   
   the data. If you can't even connect an USB peripheral, I think your only   
   option is to open the case, unmount the hard drive and connect it to the   
   working machine.

   You know that stage1 build is not supported anymore, don't you?
