Dear Mr. Heinz Mauelshagen, I have a small query for you. Can we undo the change caused by command pvcreate /dev/hda8 that was a Win 32 FAT partition, in order to get back the lost information ? Originally this command was intended to be as : [root@localhost]# pvcreate /dev/hdb8 However, it was a typo mistake that the command got executed on /dev/hda8, and that was a windows logical partition. The drive can be seen, but does not show any information stored on it. -------------------- Error displayed as : G:\is not accessible A device attached to the system is not functioning. --------------------------------------------------- I have gone through all other related commands on LVM, but none seem to help me in this case. If you have any workaround on this problem, please suggest me the way to resolve it, and get the contents of Win32 FAT partition.
