I've replaced my dual boot hard drive with an SSD. My hard drive had one 100 GB windows partition and one 300 Gb Freebsd slice with five partitions (/, /usr, /var, /tmp and /home). In order to move my Win7 partition a Norton Ghost program was supplied with the new disk. When trying to clone that partition the process couldn't finish because it needed a chkdsk command to be executed before cloning. I ran a chkdsk c: with the choice of correcting errors. Somewhere in that process the chkdsk program touched my freebsd partition in a way so that it now is recognized as NTFS. That I trusted the chkdsk program to do what I told it to do was in retrospect a bit naive ;-) I do have a backup although it's not as recent as I would have liked. Can you think of any way to perhaps recover the data from the freebsd partition? Thanks /Leslie
