I completely agree with Chris' comments. Take the drive out of the machine and do *not* boot it. Instead attach it to a USB reader and access it that way. Luckily the disk is not failing - so you have time to recover files using whatever app you like. I've done at least a dozen of these "oh ****" recoveries, some are almost perfect and some you get barely anything off the drive. -- Craig Falconer _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
