Hi I have a corrupted partition on a 2nd Hard disk (/dev/hdc3) and i tried fsck and e2fsck with no success I tried also the following commands: 1)#sfdisk -l /dev/hdc3 Output: Warning: start=12434310 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless. [Use the --force option if you really want this] 2) # sfdisk -f /dev/hdc32) # sfdisk -f /dev/hdc3 output: Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... OK Disk /dev/hdc3: 272 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature /dev/hdc3: unrecognized partition Old situation: No partitions found Input in the following format; absent fields get a default value. <start> <size> <type [E,S,L,X,hex]> <bootable [-,*]> <c,h,s> <c,h,s> Usually you only need to specify <start> and <size> (and perhaps <type>). 3) # dumpe2fs /dev/hdc3 output: dumpe2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdc3 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. Any idea? Thank you Vick _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
