A friend, recently installed Linux on his laptop
and did not backup his windows files completely. Actually he thought he had but
he backed up the same file twice instead of both files that he wanted to save.
He had 2 chapters from a book he was writing, using Wordperfect, and saved the
first chapter twice instead of each chapter once.
fdisk shows /dev/hda3 as being FAT32 and starts at
block 1024 or close to that. We can't seem to get this to mount to look at it.
We get wrong fs type or too many file systems mounted. I should mention Mandrake
7.1 kernel 2.2.15. Nate has looked at the raw device dd if=/dev/hda3 and all we
see are 0's and umlaut lower case o's.
We need to get this mounted so we can look to see
if by some freak of nature chapter 2 lives there. I suppose that we could also
dd the others to see if by chance the data was not overwritten there also but we
figured we'd start with the FAT32 partition.
Any help either by this list or by a personal
laying on of hands would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
