are you looking for a way to recover the files or to rebuild the mbr? What filesystem was it? ext3? fat? Several ways to recover files if fat/ntfs through software...one program i have heard of to recover ext2 filesystem...ill try and find the name. --- Gregory Avedissian <gma2004@verizon.net> wrote:
Yup. I blew it away. I had win98 and suse 8.2 on the same hard drive, booting linux from floppy. Noticed that I could no longer boot windows from the hard drive, so I attemted to restore the mbr that I'd saved earlier. That didn't work, my partition table is gone, and I can't get there from here.
Parted has a function called something like 'Guess at partition near START and END'. I assume it's looking for cylindar numbers. Is there a way to get those if I didn't write them down when I partitioned the drive? I do have the sizes of the partitions, to the nearest 0.1 GB.
Looking for a free solution here. I did find a $90 solution that runs in windows and teases me by showing the files but not letting me copy or view them.
