Hi everyone,
I've got a horror story to tell, and I'm wondering if
there is still a way out of my predicament.
The Win partition of my six-month-old dual-boot
Win95-Linux system is still working properly, but my
Linux filesystem appears to have gone crazy.
When I tried to e2fsck an unmounted partition, the
error message was that my superblock and my partition
table contradicted each other. I also noticed that
some of my original partitions were missing.
I've tried reinstalling Linux without reformatting
what I think is my /home partition, but as expected
the installation did not work; it was going to require
a full reformat of the most important parts of the
hard disk.
Any suggestions, please, before I finally give up and
delete my unsaved personal files? I believe my
partition table is the corrupt part; before this
happened, my wife had allowed Norton Utilities from
Win95 to "repair" a supposed change in my Master Boot
Record.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Joe
