I use a similar approach as well. However, I have multiple OS machines, so if any drive fails (or if I am working on a friends computer that has), I just pop it in one of my other OS machines, mount it and copy off what I can.

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.

Well I need to tell not to read the block 5672, I think I will be ok. Right now no matter what it stops on that block.

Maybe this will help...this is the error...

If you have bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you get one bad block that the disk drive internals cannot hide from your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become much higher (precise statistics are unknown to us), and this disk drive is probably not expensive enough for you to you to risk your time and data on it. If you don't want to follow that follow that advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the bad blocks and see if the drive remaps the bad blocks (that means it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for of that block number). If it cannot remap the block, use badblock option (-B) with reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly. bread: Cannot read the block (5672): (Input/output error). -- -- Command, n.: Statement presented by a human and accepted by a computer in such a manner as to make the human feel as if he is in control. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
