Correct. Posibly also ext3.
need to recover from fat32 & reiser. No I am not going write to either of those 2 partitions. In fact I am not going to touch that box until I am ready to attempt some kind of recovery, or reformat :_( the whole flaming thing.
The reiserfs you may consider a loss; but you might consider asking at http://www.namesys.com/ for paid suport (they are the reiserfs developpers). Or googling, perhaps. (no mention in their FAQ of the word "delete" or "erase". There are hits on their mail list, but for reiser4; an answer posted there by Hans Reiser sends to the support page). As for FAT32, yes, it is doable, and easy enough: there must be hundreds of utilities out there, share/pay/freeware. Even MsDos has an undelete/unformat somewhere. In the past I have used Norton Utilities and PCTools (central point software) with good results; those results are more reliable if the disk wasn't fragmented, or/and if you run one of those gadgets to help in this situations, by maintaining snapshots of the system areas of the disk, for instance. Notice that unformat is also doable (for HDs) and different. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEfaUFtTMYHG2NR9URAvxKAJ0UouPnC/7892TtSNm+jzJMzLYvDgCfTdz+ 8ZitKvKOEi4iXvUVuyh6U2A= =KHbo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
