Last night we had a power outrage in our lab and the machine was shut down uncleanly (i guess). This is morning when I tried to login and was told the hda6 not available. Then I tried to use the mdk disk run a linux rescue and got a message like this: your partition table is too messed up.:(

 

anybody has suggestions where should I go? I read some material online, some suggest using fsck...

If you can get your hands on a Knoppix CD you can boot that and

have lots of tools to see if you can recover the disk.

 

What kind of file system is on it? Is it journalled?
