Hi: To my knowledge there is no way to recover the root. You could however try to re-activate that partition and see what happens. I doubt it will work because mkfs resets the inode tables.
When you re-activate/create that partition again everything on it is reset. So, you have to re-install the system partition again. Peter -----Original Message----- From: G.
