Hi,
it all started with a strange oops on reboot, and finally, as rebooting
wouldn't work, I did a hard reboot. I did a little bit of stuff in a fresh
Windows install. Then I rebooted, and I got the message that the root
filesystem can't be mounted on /dev/hde2 (where it's been just fine for ages).
I tried my Gentoo CD, and it didn't pick up a single partition (hde1-3) on
the disk, just /dev/hde. Linux fdisk doesn't pick up a partition table
either. HOWEVER- I think there might be hope- Bootit NG reports all three
partitions, safely, as Linux partitions (it doesn't understand ext3, XFS, and
swap), in their normal sizes.
Anyone know how I might restore my table, with data?
And, slightly related, what's a relatively cheap, reliable backup solution?
This is the second time I've been without my data this month (the first time
the disk blew on me), so I guess I'm not really learning my lesson :0
Oh- specs- kernel is 2.5.44-ac2 (I couldn't find much else but the 2.5 series
that liked my Highpoint 374 controller), EPoX 8K5A3+, and hd in question is a
Maxtor 96147H6 5400RPM 60GB.
TIA
Bob Raymond
