The unthinable has happenned! My system (a PCs Limited AT, running at 8 MHz, with a Seagate ST4096 80-meg drive as hd00 and a Seagate ST4026 20-meg drive as hd01, 2 megs RAM, running SCO Xenix 2.2.1 sysV/286) crashed due to overheating yesterday. I brought the system back up and the hard drive was scrambled. /etc/badtrk (off the distribution SCO Xenix floppies) identified 215 bad tracks on the 80 meg drive... I didn't let it write the new bad track table out. I can't mount the drive from the Boot/Root installation floppy- I get errors about bad superblocks. I can't boot it. What I need now is a program that can recover filesystem data off of a damaged SCO Xenix filesystem. I don't care if it writes it all out to backup floppies and loses all classification information (as long as it doesn't lose the filenames) I just want my system back... Oh boy. Any help at all on this will be MOST appreciated! Best to mail back to me as libove@vi.ri.cmu.edu, or (backbone)!cmucspt!vi.ri.cmu.edu!libove since my home machine (libove.UUCP) is very dead :-( Thanks -jay libove (libove@vi.ri.cmu.edu) -412 362 8983 (pittsburgh, pennsylvania) -- Jay Libove Internet: libove@andrew.cmu.edu libove@cs.cmu.edu 5731 Centre Avenue, Apt 3 formtek!ditka!libove!libove@pt.cs.cmu.edu Pittsburgh, PA 15206 UUCP: cmucspt!formtek!ditka!libove!libove (412) 362-8983 cadre!pitt!darth!libove!libove
