Guest easy_coder Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I have a 60gxp IBM hard drive which has gone bad. These drives are know for the click of death. My drive was clicking and I could not eavn register it on POST. Yet now it does find it in post. I ran DFT drive fitness test and it has bad sector number 64. It finds lilo on boot and gives me a bunch of errors about superblock, error 22 mounting ext3 and finished with kernel panic. The drive is toast but it has my data which I of couse did not back up since 4 months ago. All of my scripts which I have weekends of work in are gone. I down loaded Mandrake Move the live CD. I do not know how to mount my drive? hda1? Please advice. So it take it the the MBR is still good on the drive. How can I save my data? I only need my files from my home directory. Then I'll use this drive as a paper weight. Please help... Edit: I booted the live CD and typed fdisk -L and got errors. I can not mount hda or hda1,2 etc. The drive is toast. It makes weird nosises when tring to mount, My best option is to take an image usinf dd or dd_rescue. What are your thoughts.
