I recently had my hard disk go bad. It was set up as /boot in partition 0, swap in partition 1, and root in partition 2 formatted with reiserfs. The failure was that partition 2, the root partition, could not be read during boot. I installed another hard disk, reinstalled my system, and I would like very much to recover some of the files on the failed disk. It is now /dev/hdb, I can mount partition 0, but I cannot mount partition 2 where all the data are. Is there any method or trick to recover any of the data in the partition given that I am unable to mount it? Thanks, Henry Harpending
