Dear all, I't time back to deal with this problem again. I found that file hdc* hdd* lost in /dev on my linux box (~~ . Maybe it's the problem caused I can't install the new HDD. Anyone know how can I install those files by RPM packages? which package(s) I need to install for recoverying file /dev/* ? Another question: A hard disk formatted by "mkfs.ext3", and cyclinder is 4111. which has superblock error. How can I recover adn mount it again. I need to change it from hdd to hdc, and install another CD-RW to hdd. Thanks a lot! Z.
