So, I use Partition magic browser to browse my damage installation, and get what i need (like downloaded files or emails). As i say before it was easy to do it with Redhat 9 and other fedora release. BTW, when i run windows XP, I can see the Fedora partition listed with my other windows partition. but i can not get access to ot (it's reported like an empty partition. Parition magic reported it as (Type 8E) partition. but the BOOT partiton is reported as (Linux ext3). Regards Tammar
