Yah, if you can mount, then it is good idea to mount as read-only first to recover and secure data by copying them to another disk. But that may not get you as much data as we wish. testdisk/photorec tools can work on corrupted disk without using normal mounting. You certainly need place to write recovered data. Making disk image and working on it makes things easy. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
