| |
After a bad manipulation, I lost my partition table...
I know it could be possible to recover it if I had written down the type, begining and ending blocks of each partition, but unfortunatly that's not the case.
So I desperatly need to know if there's a way to get this information by scanning the device (*) looking for a special string (?) identifying the begining block of my ext2, swap, and FAT32 partitions ?
my setup was :
hda1 : FAT32 (about 2.5 Go) hda2 : swap (about 128 Mo) hda3 : ext2 (about 2 Go)
The only partition I really care about is the ext2 one, so if there's an ext2 guru out there...
If someone knows a way to do it or the URL of a tool that can acheive this, please let me know.
(*) using something like cc-linux to cat the raw contents of /dev/hda
