I didn't lose anything important, but backus are a bit old (I should know better )
But apparently parts of the drive are still working, and of course I want to save anything I could. This was my partition table (with a small comment):
Code: Select all
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7476 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 264 2120548+ b Win95 FAT32 Readable from DOS prompt
/dev/hda2 265 788 4209030 7 HPFS/NTFS Unreadable, has a few data I want
/dev/hda3 789 1312 4209030 83 Linux Readable
/dev/hda4 1313 7476 49512330 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 1313 1336 192748+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 1337 2871 12329856 b Win95 FAT32 Unreadable
/dev/hda7 2872 4406 12329856 b Win95 FAT32 Unreadable
/dev/hda8 4407 5941 12329856 b Win95 FAT32 Unreadable
/dev/hda9 5942 7476 12329856 7 HPFS/NTFS Readable
Does anyone know of a program that could help? It has to be a linux/DOS tools, Windows try to look at the damaged drive when booting and freezes/fails. (Or maby there is a way to 'hotplug' the damaged drive after booting?)
