similar to: recover data on usb drive

Recently (and for ages, I'm sure) folks have suffered partition destruction and had to try and recover. In the recent thread, the victim eventually had to resort to Google and fond some package that I can not remember now. Well, I was perusing my YumInfo.lst.05, for general info, and I discovered this (potential) little gem. Thought I would pass it on and make it "more googleable"

Western Digital Diagnostic Utilities problems... PROBLEM: Western Digital Diagnostic DOS based utility does not work with the latest ISOLinux (2.11). BACKGROUND: I utilize ISOLinux and memdisk at work to load various DOS diagnostic utilities from various floppy images. Here is my ISOLinux Configuration file (isolinux.cfg) ==========START======== default 0 display bootmsg.txt prompt 1 F1

Hi, The title says it all. One of my clients showed me a 120 GB hard drive that his daughter accidentally formatted, according to him. I booted the first CD I had at hand - a Slackware 11.0 install CD - and launched cdfdisk /dev/hda. cfdisk informed me that there was even no partition table. So much for reformatting. cfdisk only shows me 120 GB of free space. Any way to retrive data on this

Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck everything. But I cannot. The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, /, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5. So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file systems, and try to run fsck -y /dev/md0 fsck -y /dev/md1 fsck -y /dev/md2 For each try I get an error message:

Hi, Somehow[TM] an installation of 4.11 to ad0s3 managed to wipe out my existing disklabel for 7.0 on ad0s4. I now need to recover the disklabel to get my system to boot! There were three labels - ad0s4a: UFS, exact size unknown. Is it possible to infer this from the UFS partition size? I can mount this already, as I simply wrote an 'a' label of maximum size to the disklabel - ad0s4b:

I just removed a bunch of Personal stuff I should not have. Is there anyway to undelete??? Jerry

I just did (the other day) a clean install of Centos 5 and am having a really weird problem that I never had before (on centos 4.5). when listening to nrk p2 (http://www.nrk.no/p2/) using Firefox, and when the small window for the player gets obscured by another window the sound stops playing. Move the obscuring window and it starts right up. I haven't yet been able to tell if it is paused,

sorry, this is OT. I'm using the 9.x flash plugin with firefox on Centos 5. I keep hearing about "fullscreen mode" in flash, and it is said that it works on Linux. How do you get into that mode? I saw some videos from youtube the other day on a windows box and they were full screen. On my Centos box the same videos play in a small window in the browser. I see no mechanism at all

Hi gang! I'm using Centos 4.4 at work on a HP Proliant DL320 G2, which has a Hypterthreaded Pentium IV CPU. I used to use RHEL WS 2.1 on it, and RH installed and used the SMP kernel. Centos 4.4 did NOT install the SMP kernel. Is there some reason why I should NOT install it myself? I.e., some reason why an SMP kernel shouldn't be used on such a machine? Gracias! -- ---- Fred Smith --

Hi! on centos 4.4 (fresh install) I've got a problem with CUPS disabling a print queue between jobs. Sometimes it will print dozens of jobs before disabling the queue, sometimes it will do it after every job. This is a networked HP Laserjet printer at work. At home on a 4.4 box (upgraded from 4.3) with a local (parallel port) printer I've not seen this problem occur. (of course, I

Hi all! My thanks to the Centos team for continuing to slave away on C6 even with all the distractions!!! Just did a test install on my eeepc 901 (on an external drive, til I'm comfortable with it) and find that it doesn't seem to know how to talk to the ralink 2860 wireless chipset. A few months back I did a test install of Scientific Linux 6 and as I recall it (I may be

I'm running Centos 6.5 on a software RAID-1 pair. I originally installed it following one of the howtos from the Centos WIKI for Centos 5. My first installation was on 5.x, then when I moved to 6.x I found that Anaconda worked enough like the one in 5.x that I could easily adapt the procedure. however, the new Anaconda is nothing like the old one, so I doubt the procedure could be made to

I just encountered an oddity... it may have been this way for millennia :) but somehow I've never noticed it before... say I'm using X (which is pretty normal these days) and I have VLC playing a "radio" station. I do CTRL-ALT-Fx to switch to a text console THAT HAS NO ONE LOGGED IN on it, and voila: no sound! as soon as I log in, the audio returns. what gives here? --

Hi all! On a Centos 6.6 system, I've got a "trash" icon on the desktop that indicates there is trash. but when I open the trash can it's empty. how can I reset that flag, where/whatever it is? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.
