why was my rh9.0 broken ,and how to retrieve the data on linux?
1 fat32 (window 2000pro)
hda6 ext3 (rh 9.0)
hda7 swap
8 fat32
I have been installed a program called "explore2fs". Everything went fine. I have copied a file from my linux partition. Then I set "write support" and write a file to linux partiton. Evenrything was fine so far. I tried to play an rmvb file and it's OK. Later, I got message "access violation" but I paied no attention. Later I have uninstalled the "Virtual Drivers" from my Windows. After rebooting, the grub command line appears on the screen without the menu, seems has been destroyed. Because I have forgotten the partition where I have my Red Hat Linux installed, I tried "root(hd0,2)", but the following "setup(hd0)" command has failed for times. Later I booted up my computer with a DOS boot disk, and executed "fdisk /mbr". Later on, I use "Power Quest" to check the partitions and it says errors in partition table. So I chose to boot up with Red Hat Installation disk, selected F5 and entered the "rescue" mode. As long as I went up to the partitioning step, I saw my ext3 partition has disappeared, left a "linux native". I selected "edit", then "mount point /", partition type ext3, pressed "OK". It prompts that old data are destroyed, and I know I made mistakes. Then I reboot my machine with Red Hat CD, typed "linux rescue" and entered rescue mode. When mounting /mnt/sysimage I got message "you don't have any linux partitions" and I selected "skip". Then in the shell, I typed "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and got prompt: can not find /mnt/sysimage
I have really important data on my ext3 partitions, so I'm just wondering if there's any possibility that I can retrieve those data? It's would be wonderful if the partition can be fixed.
Thank you.
