| 382298 | 2005-08-19 22:19:00 | My backup hard drive has packed up, it's connected through an IDE card. Windows doesn't start at all if the crashed drive is connected. I can start Mandriva LE although it takes a while, when trying to initialise the stuffed drive it hangs for a while, then reports a bad superblock in hdg1. I can see the drive in /mnt. It comes up as win c & win d. It's partitioned in NTFS & FAT32. What I want to know is, is there a linux program that can access damaged hard drives? I want to get the info off it to another drive. Thanks Phil |
