I have a machine with 2 hard drives. 1 hard drive that has Suse linux
installed on it, it used to have Mandriva 2006 on it but I decided to give
Suse a try for a while. The drive was configured with ext 3 partitions.
When I switched to Suse I changed to Riser partitions.I went to try and
reinstall Mandriva and and at the partitioning part of the installation I got
a error message saying that the partition table could not be read. I have a
lot of valuable data on this drive so I started to panic. The Mandriva
partitioning tool displayed it as just 1 large gray area. I next tried to
boot back into suse and about half way through startup I got several error
messages and it would not finish booting.
I then tried to Reinstall Suse but the partitiong tool in suse was also
unable to read the partition table.
Does anyone here have any idea how I can retrive the data on this drive. I
do have access to other machines with both Linux and windows installed and a
external hard drive encloshure.
Thanks in advance
Marc
