[TriLUG] data recovery

[Vestal, Roy L.]

IF you can find another EXACT model (right down to the revision numbers),
then you can swap the boards on the HDD and hope it's the circuit that's
frumped. I've done that before, but I would save it as a LAST, VERY LAST
resort.  If you used a different translation table than is on the prom on
the board, you toast the data.

The hard drive isn't even recognized in the bios.  I hada backup script
running that would tar the files to a tape drive but somehow it only was
able to get 2 gigs of the 5gigs.
I tried the hdd in a different computer but it still wouldn't recognize in
the bios.  It had the whole home partition on it, with the boot, root, /usr
and /etc on the first drive.  No RAID so I can't rebuild.  I suck!  Any
suggestions?

What is the problem?

I recently recovered data from a HDD that had lost the partition table. I
used
TestDisk from http://www.cgsecurity.org , an open source solution.


Good luck!
