I'd strongly recommend getting another drive of the same size or larger and dd'ing the broken drive. Then you can work on a copy if the drive without touching the original data. Working with a borked drive is dangerous in that in trying to recover the data, it's very easy to make matters worse.... Get another drive before proceeding and install in the machine.....then sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=4k conv=noerror,sync (where hda in the example is the original broken disk and hdb is the new blank disk). You can then work with a copy of the disk without worries... Good luck Paul -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
