The disklabel looks to be intact. I've been researching all afternoon trying to find out how to recover the swap with something like newfs, but I haven't found any examples of how to do it, only how to create the swap during a system installation. Can anyone tell me which tool to use and show me either an example or point me in the direction of more information? -Ron T. -- Ron Tarrant Blog:PHP-Gtk2
