RE: HD recovery & debian installation mirroring (& others)

["Paladin" <Paladin@netcabo.pt>]

Thanks again! :)
 
I'll do that! But in the meanwhile i'm testing the "testdisk" program to see if it can find the partitions, since gpart is not doing anything. It would be easier if I could chroot to the partition and run the dpkg -l or something like that.

	Hrm. So far as I know dpkg --get-selections should be the same as dpkg
	-l, which lists all currently installed packages. The output from both
	is identical on the system I am sending this from.

	I'm sure there are many sophisticated tools for recovering data from
	faulty disks and corrupted file systems, but I have no experience with them.
	
	You can, however, use the "dd" command to get at the raw binary data and
	then see whether you can track down the file you need.
	
	But I'd recommend against this. Instead, you might want to start a new
	thread (or rename this one) with a name like "Recovering data from a
	corrupted disk".
	
	Good luck.
