Date: Tue, 05 Dec 95 15:02:34 PST From: Ben Jackson Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk A friend of mine has a disk which was "half" DOS and "half" FreeBSD and after a machine crash, the fdisk partition information was zero'd. Any ideas on how to recover the information? Does anyone have a program that would scan the disk for the disklabel magic number to find the start of the BSD partition? Or a way to extract the information from the beginning of the DOS partition, which was at the begining? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks, --Ben
