Hi, I have posted a thread regarding problems arised after 11.1 x64 update. I am was able to restore almost everything except sound - it was gone completely. So I have decided to reinstall SuSE 11.1 x64, leaving home partition intact, and formatting root partition for 100% fresh install. Installation process finished succesfully - and BOOM - newly installed system becomes barely bootble - it CANNOT find /home partition. Moreover, parted reports "sector 0 - wrong signature". If I open YaST partitoner - it reports bad partition table, but shows root and swap of correct size. However, /dev/sda2 /home is 1K !!! I am 100% sure I have formatted only /dev/sda1 root and nothing else. Looks like partitioner killed my disk partition table along with home partiton and ALL stuff on it. I have a full backup but it is 2 months old. Tried OpenSuSE disk and "recover lost partiton" tool, it did something for over 2 hours, nothing seem to be happening, and I terminated the process (its on 500GB 7200rpm HD on fast Intel Quad Core PC). HD is very quiet and it is not clear if there any activity. I do not think there are bed sectors, it ususally results in clicks. I have booted from this HD till it prompts for root password. Then went to parted and rescue. I have tried rescue START END (for whatever reason parted print all have not displayed sector numbers, only size in GB). Parted have not shown any prompt to commit changes, seem like it did nothing. May be I should boot from another HD? Probably parted cannot modify HD it is running from ??? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
