I have two HDs here, the second is where my FreeBSD is installed, in the first I used to have Windows, but I tried to make it dual-boot and it became unbootable (unmountable_boot_drive is their error). I tried using their tools to recover from this, but they managed to write on the MBR of it and now Windows itself (its installer) doesn't recognize any partitions on that disk (the first) whatsoever. There used to be a NTFS partition (the first) with 10GB of data in it, I can still mount it on FreeBSD and have already recovered the data from it. Yet when I try to mount the second partition (FAT32) I get a Input/Output error. Can I mount it using -f or will that make things worse for me? I need most to recover the data from it. Thanks. ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail, cada vez melhor: agora com 1GB de espaço grátis! http://mail.yahoo.com.br
