It would be nice if I could do that, it only says bad super block. Because there currently is no super block at the begining of the drive. The rest of the drive seems intact because fsck can run off the superblock at sector 32 and finish's. At no point does it make a new superblock where I should have one. If anyone knows how to mount using sector 32.. that would be nice. -Darren --- Chris Hill <chris@monochrome.org> wrote: > On Sun, 9 Oct 2005, Mr. Darren wrote: > > > I know, however it isn't fixing the first sector, > it > > uses the backup(already repaired it), and never at > any > > point does it fix the original.
