I accideantally fdisked my linux hard disk and deleted all partitions, created one single solaris partition. I wanted to do this on my second hard disk and thought I had connected the second one and disconnected the first, but hadn't disconnected the first one really.
Now I am unable to boot. Booting from a knpix CD, when I check what partition is on that hard disk, I see only one partition, a bf type partition (which means solaris) but is unformatted. Here's the output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77622 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 6253 3151480+ bf Unknown Since it's not yet formatted, I would think there must be a way to recover all the data still. I could install this knoppix on the small 3 GB hdd and connecting the big hdd, try to recover. Is there a program I can use to recover the data? Is it possible without using a second 40 GB hard disk or it is not? I have lots of data on it, useful data and lots of linux things I wouldn't like to lose. Can someone help?
