I need to recover my /home (/dev/hda6) partition, but i can't becouse
i can't mount it.
This is my hard disk's situation:

---Disk /dev/hda: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 8924 71681998+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 13958 19863 47439945 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda3 8925 13957 40427572+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda5 13958 14024 538146 82 Linux swap / Solaris

/dev/hda7 15299 19863 36668331 83 Linux


---fdisk -l /dev/hda6 prints:

Disk /dev/hda6: 10.4 GB, 10478942208 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1273 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8228280 bytes

---mount -t ext3 /dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so



this is the error from dmesg:

FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 07:04.
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,6).

Thank you all

What did you do to cause this problem?
You need to run fsck on this partition (the partition should not be mounted when you do this) to see if there are errors that can be repaired.
Either man fsck to find the options you need, or just force a fsck at the next boot like this:
shutdown -Fr now

Running fdisk might, however, destroy data. We need the background. Also, make sure you make a backup before performing ANY write operations.

Check out http://www.r-tt.com/ for data recovery software.

As you can't find your ext3 partition, then there miust be some important data. To access these data you can use EXT3 partition recovery software

To recover your ext3 partition use Kernel Recovery for Linux

Kernel Recovery for Linux supports for EXT2, Ext3 partitions and recovers deleted, formatted partitions.

I evaluated many linux data recovery software and found Kernel Recovery for Linux almost excellent.

The software is available for downloading the DEMO which allows you to preview the recoverable contents and you can check whether the file is recovered correctly or not by double clicking on it.

This software is dreally a great piece of software.

thanks

Use testdisk from http://www.cgsecurity.org
This tool recovers the partition table.
It's freeware.
testdisk is also standard in the latest Knoppix Live cd.
