Hello Chodura and unorthodox friends :-)
Problem is this: I booted using LILO with spelling mistake as "boot=/dev/hda1" instead of correct "boot/dev/hda2". Since that, I cannot access /dev/hda1 which is my DOS partition with valuable data.
So, I tried to boot from CD and trief to mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c and the error is: "/dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number" whereas the fdisk partition table shows everything o.k. .
Obviously, however, the partition table or the fat1 has been destroyed.
What can I do here to rescue my files (/dev/hda1 has NOT been formatted since error occurence, so the files MUST be there).
O.k. I will leave it to talents as you are. hope that helps ;-)
Just boot from the cd again and do the "boot installed system". It will ask you for the partition. Tell it hda2 if thats where your linux root partition is. After it comes up fix lilo.conf and rerun lilo. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
