Hi, The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this hard drive? Some magic live distribution to read data on repartitioned / reformatted hard drives? any suggestions?
If the data's still there and it's just the partition table that's been blown away I think there are a few things that will scan a disk looking for the markers for partition information and attempt to reconstruct one. If that worked you theoretically can just repartition identically and the data may magically appear. http://www.ntk.net/index.cgi?b=02006-06-09&l=113#l Will _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
