I had an ext3 hard disk in /dev/hdc, but now its partition looks strange [it became empty, but actually not]. So, I ran e2fsck, but could not find any bad blocks. Could someone advise me how to restore parition table ? I would like to recover 8273 regular files stored on this disk.
Should I run sfdisk -b ..... ?
Thanks, yasushi
