Hi! I don't use ReiserFS, but I have a copy of Paragon's Partition Manager on one of my Win clients which does "see" ReiserFS partitions. A quick check of the User manual reveals that this program formats, copies, resizes and moves ReiserFS partitions. You can downloadl a trial version from http://www.paragon-software.com/demo.htm. The commercial version costs $50 and supports a bootable CD or floppy with the program. If your data is worth $50 it might be a solution. (It's also a good utility to have around ...)

Hi everybody,
The HD (with Suse 10.0, ReiserFS) of my moms old laptop is broken and I thought, maybe there's a possibility to revover her e-mails and some OOo textfiles, but google wouldn't help me (I probably search wrong - find only commercial ads...).
Trying to mount /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda2 with the rescue system fails (it says: partition doesn't exist) The openSuse install CD says, "parted cannot format the disk". reiserfsck says the SuperBlock cannot be read - and I cannot rebuild the Superblock with reiserfsck because I don't know what answers I should type to the questions it asks....
The only thing I know is that it's a 20 G disk with a swap, a root and a home partition (with reiserfs). But I don't even know the sizes of the partitions or the version of reiserfs...
Is there a Linux tool to make a bootable CD, that will then search the disk and give possibility to save found files to a floppy?
any hints? thanks
Daniel
