It should inhibit the filesystem from looking at it. Also, if you have Sectorama or DEdit, they seem to work in these cases, if that's the first thing you run. Are you at Berkely? If so, I'll be in your area next week, staying at the Woodfin Suites in Newark, so if you still aren't up and running, give me a call one evening and we'll do recovery, or email me your phone number and I'll call. -larry -- Entomology bugs me. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Hi! Part three in the continuing saga of my hard drive crash. The only
suggestion I've received is to 1) remove the "mount = 1" line from the
mountlist, then 2) mount the partitions one by one and 3) use disksalv
to recover the contents so I can 4) reformat the sucker.
Well, it crashes when I try to disksalv it. ANYTHING that accesses any
of the partitions causes a guru! The kind of guru Gomf3.0 is helpless
against, in fact... the messiest I've ever seen. It shifts the entire
workbench screen down 1/3 of a screen so it can put a black region up
top, then it displays the normal guru message.
So HELPHELPHELP! I really need to get this system back to working order
('cause I'm trying to model a stellar atmosphere by next week!) ANY
ideas are welcome, email whatever gonzo suggestion I can try, up to and
including black magic, but I gotta get my hard drive online!
