How did linux corrupt hda1 (C: drive) fat16 filesystem?
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 <debian-users@list.debian.org>... Host unknown (Name server: list.debian.org: host not found)
Tried to cp a file from hda2 (linux) to hda1 (fat16). Now lilo
cannot find anything on c: to boot.
If I boot DOS6.2 with bootfloppy, c: looks EMPTY.
However, linux finds files and folders on /mnt/hda1; but the
names appear corrupted.
Any way to recover? I've tried some Norton utilities in DOS,
but no joy so far.
TIA,
dave

After trying to cp a file from hda2 (linux) to hda1, C:
has become inaccessible. If I migrate to /mnt/hda1 and
type ls, MANY files fly by, but their names are almost
all corrupted. Tried to boot DOS from floppy and use
Norton software to recover C:, but get reports that file
system is corrupt.
Anyone have any suggestions for recovering C: ????
I've been following linux newsgroups for a while, and
I've never heard of this one. I didn't know it could
happen (or I would have had C: backed up better)....
TIA, dave
