compaq evo - weird hd problem
was playing with drqueue, nfs and exec as one of default permissions
well suddenly, almost sounds of singing/melody from compaq evo, thought
it was my mp3 player
initially
evo hung
on reboot and also after a power off/on, only the usb hard drive i had
plugged in, is shown in the bios
the evo started out as a libranet 2.8.1 and upgraded to sarge upto about
a day ago
my conclusion at the moment is the hard drive got scambled, somewhat
violently
my concern is recovery of the data on it
i plan to try knoppix 3.4 on it tomorrow
then in anticipation of knoppix not seeing the drive, i plan to do an
install to another hard drive, then drop the cd out and put orig hd in
its place and see if its visible
yes i do happen to have a backup of essential user data, just a question
of what i had install deb wise
anyone had a similar experience
