Hi, Unfortunately my networkdrive became unaccessible, due to some worm, that has eaten parts of the bootsector. This drive contains my whole movie and music DB, all my photoos and apps that i wanted to keep. I know that the real data is unaffected, but do not know how to get it off that drive, and onto some other media, like DL-DVD's.. Does anyone have a clue? For information: Yes, it was used in a network, where there are also windows PC's and laptops, it had a samba server, and an ftp server. And no, a virus scanner could not access the drive anymore.. I noticed some strange signs, that have replaced the normal letters, and in a few restarts, no access was possible anymore. iirc, there is a way of reading the disk, passing by the bootsector in some way, but i don't remember the routine.... It cann't be mounted anymore, i used an enclosure directly on the drive: ide to usb, but it cann't be recognised anymore.. If somebody knows a way to get to the data, i would be very pleased to hear it. It is some 210GB, on a 250GB drive. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
