If you want the labels back, look into the e2label tool
Praise be!!
I now have a perfectly working system again. Here's a synopsis for all those
who helped, and for the archives for those yet to come.
I managed to splat the 1st 1.4MB of my hard disk by running
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/hda bs=1024
instead of
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024

Hi folks,
I'm just about ready to attempt repairing my HD.
I recon that from the /proc/partitions info I can rebuild the partition table
using fdisk.
Then I can
mkfs /boot
and
rpm -i --force kerne*rpm grub*rpm
to rebuild my /boot partition.
My question is, which chickens do I need to sac

some other useful tools you should know about while you're
trying this:
# hexdump -cx /dev/hda | less
to dump (in both char and hex form) the beginning of /dev/hda.
this is a good way to tell if anything there has changed if you,
for example, run "fdisk" and try to "w" to restore the MBR
and
ok, here's another question to which i don't know
the answer -- where does the first partition (/dev/hda1)
really start?
i ask since, on my host, fdisk tells me that /dev/hda
has 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5836 cylinders (obviously bogus
values), but it further says that
Units = cylinders of 16

Can anyone suggest a way of restoring the MBR and partition table and how I
can rebuild the /boot partition.

Hi rhers,
I currently learn backing up and restoring my data.
I used cpio to backup my /usr partition as is:
find /usr print0 | cpio -ovc > /home/User/Backup/usr_bkp02092002
I delete intentionly /usr as root.
Now, cpio -idvm < /home/User/Backup/usr_bkp02092002 doesn't

Guys, I need help. Last Friday, one of my wife's hard drives went
down in her machine. The drive is defective, but I can still detect
that it's there. I need to get the information off the drive, or
at least what is salvageable, as she hasn't made a backup in months.
This seems like a natura

We have brought some simple backup scripts over from our Solaris boxes

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to restore the
Win95 boot manager, but still retain the Linux system and the ability to boot
into the Linux system? What would be ideal for me is if I could have Win95
boot as default (not thru LILO) and have linux boot from a floppy
disk.

I have recently installed RH 5.0 on a system with a STB Velocity 128/RIVA

Unfortunately, when I installed the new version of XFree86, all of my

Thanks all of you who replyed. I got it working. It now restores the files.
One more problem. After it restores the files it appears to continue
searching through the tape. It will say:
