Aka, one machine for Quicken, Turbotax, your resumes, etc, and another one for mythTV, MAME, kids games, etc, and possibly even a third for testing new OS's, patch levels, etc.
And yes, one day I will have three working computers at my house (aka, all working at the same time).

I did something similar to an external hard drive. I used the wrong letter and wiped out the first meg of the partition (wrote zeros to it... glad I used the count= option in dd) I found that the program getDataBack worked well for me. I used the FAT version, but they have an NTFS version as well. It costs $40 or $50, but it got all my files back. I played with it on other volumes and I was able to recover deleted files, and it seemed to be fairly versatile.

The command I used was sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 Should have been sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 So ummm, anyone have any ideas on if data recovery would be possible here, or should I just re-install? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Steve
