Trial and error I'm afraid. Run the manufacturer's diagnostics over it. If there's physical damage there's less chance of recovery. There are companies out there that will take it apart and grab the data bit-by-painstaking-bit off the platters themselves but it costs lots of $$$. I hope it was nothing important, but restoring from backup may be your best bet. --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services P/L -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
