The "Unknown error 990" message seems to relate to xfs. Usually the people seem to have success by using xfs_repair since the error can come from a corrupt xfs. If your old HD is still readable somehow and you spent lots of time with this xfs problem think about using tar to get the data on the new disc. hth nosy On Tue, 26 Jul 2005, tripolar wrote:

Then I went on to try "mount -o loop 120part7_rescue.img /mnt/hdc1/" I get "Unknown error 990"
