Dear all, I am trying to recover data from (of course) a failed system. According to the resident guy, system was running Fedora Core 4, LVM with 2 SATA drives each 300GB. However when I try to scan them mdadm --examine --scan /dev/sda1 >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf or when I try to fdisk them, fdisk /dev/sda1 I get the errors
<start errors> usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 121 sda: Unit Not Ready, sense: current 00:00 sns = 70 2 ASC=3a, ASCQ=0 Raw sense data: 0x70 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x0a 0x3a sda : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB. sda: Write Protect is off I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 ldm_validate_partition_table(): Disk read failed. I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0 unable to read partition table </end errors> Please note that am doing this recovery off a Knoppix live CD, but am wondering, is it worth proceeding or these drives are completely gone? Your advise will be greatly appreciated George
