I have a problem caused by (i think) Partition magic under windows.
When i go to linux debian and i try to mount the home directory:

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).

i have created an image with dd:

dd if=/dev/hda6 of=image.img

How can i see what the image (hda6) contains?
Can i rescue my files?

Thank you All

Need some info:
Total HD setup, partitions, etc. (fdisk -l --that's ell, not one)
Can you boot into the Linux install--are all the other directories OK?
Was /home not mounted by default in the Linux install?
Output of cat fstab--running under Linux.

I can log in my debian distr.
I have also fedora with 2 partition / (hda7) and /home (hda6).
I think the /home of fedora is corrupted.
This is the situation of cfdisk:

hda6 NC Logical Linux (no mount) 10478.98*

I see that there is not mount point.
Perhaps i i to put tha mount point?

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

Disk /dev/hda6 doesn't contain a valid partition table

You did fdisk on a partition---I do not know how to interpret that.

do this: fdisk /dev/hda

then: "p" to list the partitions

Command (m for help): p
