Howto read raw-partitions?
Hello,
I'm going to take it from the start so you know what it's all about. I have a 80 GB harddrive that earlier was devided somewhat like this: 1. 100 MB FAT32 (with DOS) 2. 10 GB NTFS (with WinXP) 3. 10 GB Ext3 (with Fedora Linux) 4. 1 GB Linux Swap 5. 59 GB NTFS (extended) After buying a new computer that runs on Linux only I thought that the Linux partitions on this harddrive where to no use and that the space could be used for other stuff. This is what I wanted it to look like: 1. 10 GB NTFS (with WinXP) 2. 70 GB NTFS (extended) To my help I used PartitionMagic 8 (PM) under Windows (define the changes in Windows and then reboot to make them). It did delete the DOS-partition and the both Linux-partitions but when it was going to move the XP-partition something went corrupt and the whole partition went useless and I only read it as RAW. I reinstalled Linux on the free space I had hoping to fix it (as I've done before) but nope. I've gotten a CD with PEbuilder (which boot winxp from a CD) and was thinking about doing the whole xp-partition to a ghost-image but Ghost on the CD wouldn't work at all (possible because it couldn't decide which filesystem the C:\ drive had). What I need now is help with some program for either Windows or Linux which can read RAW-Partitions. I don't want to format the harddrive before I've gotten some really important files that I stored on it. If someone know how to help me with dd please write me a msg on ICQ. I'm online most of the day. lowtek |
