Don't let Mdk 9.2 go with that !!

The effect of this is its TOO LATE to NOT save partition info becuase it was modified irreparably  when you started diskdrake.

 

Just a very small comment on the side: if your partition table is messed up, overwritten or so, but you haven't formatted or anything, you can use a floppy with tools (to download from the disk manufacturers site) to repair the former partition tables.

 

The tables are actually never really overwritten, but merely appended (at least, I once had a problem and could jump back to any of the former partitioning layouts, indicated by dates).

Hi,

 

I've installed cooker today.

The bug is still there :-(

I'm trying to post at cooker or bugzilla but it's not really easy.

I'm still trying but if some here use to work on cooker and can help me I think in may be a good thing for everybody.

 

Thanks

[Cooker] [bug 5999] [drakxtools] New: after a partition number shift, trying to format partition n will damage partition n+1

yes, at last I could do a bug report. I hope they could do something with that.

P.S:

aRTee: didn't know disk manufacturers have tools. Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look. I know the data's are almost never completely lost. Just it seems there isn't a lot of free tools on Linux for recovery ( or I don't know them )
