My machine has two HDs (hda and hdc)
hda has Linux, hdc is win95+NT
My machine got bitten by a virus a couple of months back (my parents
let a neighbour use the machine when I wasn't there :(, and I didn't
bother to update the anti-virus definitions since that particular HD s
only being used as a data dump).
Now my mom needs to boot into windows 95 for some work (she got some
training material that seemingly works in Windows only), so I tried to
reinstall WIn9x (It wouldn't even boot into win9x, but would boot to
NT).
The install got screwed up and corrupted my partition table as well.
I know only the approximate sizes of the partitions (not the exact
block sizes). I have some data which has maybe not been backed up, so I
can't just format the HD (and word docs at that, ughhhh).
I have no space on the Linux drive to do a dd and then grep for
required strings.
Does anyone know how to recover the data/or just the partition tables?
The only limitation is that all work *must* be done in a space of 40MB
for a HD of 4GB partitioned into 4 partitioons of 1GB each.
