, realy sorry for that - to tyred last night -
Oh, you mean "/debian" on the MacOS side, e.g. harddisk:Desktop Folder:debian I don't know where that folder came from.
that was me :( ,
sure, viewing that, I though that ATA disk is mapped like a SCSI disk , so it may be mannaged by emile .which is showing on /dev/hda8, but which is on /dev/hda5.

No, that disk need to be reinstalled. regards --ee
