do i take it windows has left the building, but the data is still there? if so, and given the size of the data, backing up and reformatting/repartitioning is by far the best option IMHO. Its less than one cd if you are short on hd space.
personally i would mount the drive, and drag& drop the mount point into a k3b data project, and burn a cd, verify it and then blast the partition. i'd use k3b cos i am lazy, you could use the mkisofs/cdrecord to do the same thing (which is no doubt what k3b would do anyway, although it may use cdrdao, doesn't matter much for this purpose) On Mon, 10 Nov 2003 13:47:57 +1300 Robert Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > Does anyone know of a FAT32 file system defragmenter that runs under linux (or DOS)? > Did a quick google search, but couldn't see anything non-commercial... > > I am trying to repartition a small (720MB) hard drive... and Windows doesn't live > there any more.
