Re: [wlug] Mounting an image

If all else fails, BACK-UP what you have, or copy it to a temp location to work on it: Get a program called Foremost - apt-get should get it for most distros - it basically goes through a drive?/file?/partition? and, similar to Anti-Virus programs, uses a file type 'signature' to try and guess where a particular file starts and finishes - more info here: http://pcburn.com/data_recovery-Foremost.php HTH.

Two weeks ago, I discovered my harddrive was dead. The bios won't even detect it :(

However, I notice that somehow I made an image of the whole harddrive (12 partitions) and it stored on my USB drive too as /kubuntu/dev/hda

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Cheers
