Subject: [gentoo-amd64] How to rescue to lost ext3 partition ??
hi all ,
I tried to resize my gentoo (ext3) partion with the help of "partition
magic".
everything goes correct but in the completion it gave some error. didn't
know exactly what was that. Then i reboot the system and find out that grub
was lost and giving error 17.
===========================================
error 17
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem
type cannot be recognized by GRUB.
===========================================
Now after some efforts I somehow manage to install grub again with the help
of a Gentoo live cd. But I have no clue for how to get back my gentoo
partition. Is there any way to rescue that parition??
following are some useful info.
===========================================
gentoo ext partion is ..../dev/sda13

Are you sure that your system is not on /dev/sda12?
I would boot an install cd and
mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda12
and take a look before the action gets drastic.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
I did the same ....but it didn't mount. says unrecognized partition.
Thanks
