How did u guys actually do this ?, i mean elucidate.I really luv all this system stuff. Must tell u , i once lost all my partions b'coz stupid (rather stupid me) Norton told me the boot record changed ...something . I pressed yes shutdown my comp. The next day i boot my comp to find only the c drive.Yeah.. I did pull that stunt once. Delete the partitions including >>extendedones and then recreate them with exact sector boundaries. >>Worked like charm but I was really scared doing that..;-)
This was about 2 yrs back and it had been only 6 monce since i bought my first comp and been so near to any comp for that matter. I was terrified ( all my sister's project files were in the other partitions) yet felt adventurous, learnt how 2 use fdisk and recreated the partitions but the data were lost for ever.
I know dd is a cool program - it copies from the disk sectors. Please tell me how ta handle if such situation accurs. Iam particularly interested in retreival using "DD"
Thanx in advance
