qubes won't boot, how to rescue system or save my data?

[jer...@openmailbox.org]

i first tried setup for my printer which has USB connected to PC...
using the guide in Using and Managing USB Devices in qubes-os website in docs..
enabled sys-sub using the command
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb

then the command
sudo qubesctl state.highstate

computer froze, restarted pc, the keyboard didn't work (in passphrase encryption part), but if press a button only num lock color appears for a second, and if i hold a button the num lock button is lighted..

i then tried installing new qubes, using manual partition configuration (not the automatic), i think i didn't delete the partition with my data.. i tried adding some new partitions......

now after installing qubes, after encryption password for disk, entering password, it was counting number when clicking alt tab, and says unlimited...

how can i rescue

I emergency, Iwould rescue data externally: use a luks-enabled linux
(tails for example) on a usb drive, then open the discs
(cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/XXX and mount it). Inside /var/lib/qubes/ you
will find private.img in each appvm. These can be mounted individually &
rsync-ed to a rescue disc (I recommend a loopback device that is
luks-crypted as well). Bernhard

Choice of words and wording, and the scenario and timing, makes it look like you double posted https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/6NBcP05CdPc

I'm not trying to be mean here, but how come you're not sticking to your original topic?

You likely can't make that Qubes setup work after having torn it in half and try to glue it together again, there is simply too many details. Try the advice I offered in the other topic.

or what haaber said, who provides further details.
