To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: Chameleon - TCP/IP for Windows by NetManage, Inc. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I had a crash and I could really use some help. Apparantly the root directory has been rm'd... All files and subdirectories are gone in the dos partition. All unix files are erased. I can scan the disk with Norton utilities, everything seems to be there. What I would like to know is, can I rebuild the FAT? If so, how? Where is it located? By the way, nobody here did it but it seems like a deliberate action, maybe from someone at a remote site. Oh well. There are many many files and hopefully the disk can be recovered. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks very much. Jonathan Walsh 07/04/97 14:38:19
