Hi;
I have a hard disk that seems broken but I am trying to save -- or at
least save the data on it.
The broken hard disk is a dual boot SCSI disk that worked.
* BIOS says that the disk is present and accounted for i.e. right
name and size even after swapping in and out other harddisks.
* Using Fedora rescue disk, parted /dev/sda says can't read sda.
* Using Fedora rescue disk, fdisk /dev/sda says can't read sda.
* Using Fedora rescue disk, chroot /mnt/sysimage can't mount
sysimage.
* fdisk /mbr says can't fix mbr. ( I am not sure whether this
message means that nothing is wrong with the mbr or that it is
beyond repair )
I would like to do any of the following:
* get the hard disk working again, or,
* view the data on the disk, and/or,
* rescue the data on the disk.
What should I try next?
