You wrote to /dev/sdx not /dev/sdxN (where N is a number)? You will have zapped your partition table. If you only had one partition on there, you can recreate this by running fdisk on the image first. Note ext3 recovery tools want a partition image, not a disk image. You can use dd with the appropriate skip (or use sparsecopy from http://blog.alex.org.uk/2010/12/02/copying-sparse-files/ ) to get the partition out from the disk image. -- Alex Bligh _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
