Hi. The hard disk of my Pavilion zv5000 exploded last week. The linux root partition became unmountable due to lots of bad blocks in my reiser filesystem.
Today finally, thanks to dd_rescue and reiserfsck i was able to recover most of the info to a brand new external drive (well, it's an usb box with a 2.5" HD inside). A couple of details: * The HP hard disk doesn't seem to be standard (did anyone notice this?). The 2.5" toshiba HD i bought doesn't fit perfectly in my laptop due to the connector, and my damaged Seagate (FUCK THEM!) HD doesn't fit in the LG USB box... So it seems that if warranty doesn't cover me, i only can purchase a new HD from HP (ñlfaddsfñhñ#&%fhadsifas!!!)) * There seems to be LOTS of bad blocks. Did anyone experience this before? Luckily, my shop offers me a 3-year warranty... i'll try to explain them what's a bad block with linux (don't know if they have even heard about it) and let's see what happens.
