Hello Chodura and unorthodox friends :-) Problem is this: I booted using LILO with spelling mistake as "boot=/dev/hda1" instead of correct "boot/dev/hda2". Since that, I cannot access /dev/hda1 which is my DOS partition with valuable data. So, I tried to boot from CD and trief to mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c and the error is: "/dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number" whereas the fdisk partition table shows everything o.k. . Obviously, however, the partition table or the fat1 has been destroyed. What can I do here to rescue my files (/dev/hda1 has NOT been formatted since error occurence, so the files MUST be there). O.k. I will leave it to talents as you are. hope that helps ;-) O
