Subject: Re: [Cooker] Just wiped out hard drive.
?emove the drive from the computer and install it in a working Linux computer. Let's
assume that hda is the regular, working drive and you have the bad drive at hdc and
hdd is a spare drive large enough to hold all of hdc.
Use fdisk to create a partition on hdd.
Used dd to copy the broken partition to the good one, telling it to skip any errors.
dd conv=noerror if=/dev/hdc1 of=/dev/hdd1
Now run e2fsck on the recovered drive.
e2fsck -y /dev/hdd1
Now mount the recovered hdd1 partition and pray that your precious files are there.
Hope this helps.
Hoyt
