Guy,
My main partion, crash. I am getting I/O errors, which I know means the drive is dead. What I need is to get on that partition so I can get my config off or any thing that I can. I have ran reiserfsck --fix-fixable, I get these error, cannot read teh bock 5672. reiserfsck is tell me I can use a -B flag to fix it but when I try to use that flag, I get the help menu. Please some know what I can do to get my data.
First, calm down. Take a walk. Don't panic and do stuff you'll regret later. Have you got a Linux live CD? There are dozens of these; many are optimized for data rescue and recovery. See the listing at http://livecdlist.com. I like and have often used Knoppix for this, but any one of many and a USB key or external drive will do the job. Good luck. -- N. B.
