Help! partition table!
My disk layout:
hda1: Windows XP 10 GB
hda2: Debian 3.0 40 GB
I've been happily using debian 3.0 woody for 2 weeks now. I decided it was
time for an adventure and decided to install sarge unstable to my scsi
drive. I booted the cdrom, and had fdisk write the partition table to my
scsi drive. then it promted for a disk to install to, it listed two
paritions/disks. I *thought* this was my scsi disk, but it turned out to be
my IDE disk. I choose disk/partition 2 (it was labeled something like
/dev/discs0/part1/) and had 'default' appended. I got the message "writing
inodes..." and saw my IDE led activity going red and my scsi jaz drive was
showing no activity. I immeadiately noticed my mistake and hit the power off
button.
Then I tried booting up, lilo started fine, and I selected Linux. it booted
up to the level of: loading NFS, mounting root on 02:03... kernel panic
failure, or something in that style, either way I figured my linux partition
was crapped up.
I am now in my Windows XP system. Please, I beg you, help me recover my
linux files, I spent soo much time configuring it all and finally getting it
to work, and will promise never to do something stupid as this again. :-/
please oh please.
