[Disclaimer: I know that not backing up your data before major update is a bad idea. Don't tell me that, please]
I've decided to install Mandrake 9.2 on my home computer. Before, I had a physical HD with the following partitions: hda1 small linux (with minimal mdk9.2 installed on it) (~1.5 G) hda2 windows (only data, not bootable) (~2 G) linux with full RedHat7.3 installed on it linux (/home) and linux swap I've decided to get rid of the old RH and perform full install for Mdk. I had all the packages for the HD installation on the /home partition. The installation went OK, except for the fact that when installing LiLo, there was an error that said somethin about that LiLo could be installed only on the MBR. Since that was my intention, I continued. After the reboot, I saw that LiLo did not see any changes that were done during the installation, and when trying to boot into mdk, the kernel paniced (no init found). I've used Knoppix to see what's going on, and I discovered that fdisk -l issues warning "invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by (w)rite" and it sees only the windows partition and hda1 which was left empty for future use. Is there any chance that I can recover my data from /home partition? PS. During the installation, I did not make any changes to this partition Thanks ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
