RE: [SLE] help - win98 defrag destroyed ext2 partitions
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Seems some folks are taking liberties... :) I have to say... that I am surprise by the animosity on this list towards Microsoft. Having dwelt with several LARGE Technology companies. I find that thier attitudes are all the same. They turn out products that sorta work, and they want lots of money for, and squash the little guys out of existence. :) -- Kirk Moore EPM - Release Management environments - STL's and Training Development 425-965-6543 (desk) 425-797-9092 (pager) Black holes are created when God divides by zero!

Hi
I have run win98 defrag on my c:\ drive, dev/hda1 partition and it has destoyed the ext2 partitions on the same drive.
It is interesting to note that Win95 never bothered other partitions. This 'feature' is proabably added to discourage dual boots with Linux. Your best choice would be to boot your SuSE install CD, reformat hda1 as ext2 and make SuSE your only OS. Works for me! JLK
Linux no longer boots, I have tried the rescue system and used e2fsck but it reported that it could not find a valid ext2fs, inode problems etc
The partitions affected are /var /usr/local /home /tmp and swap
Is this mess recoverable? Other than a re-installation.
Many thanks Rich

Unfortunately, I'll have to agree with you, though I wish it weren't so...;-( JLK
