I setup a new system exactly like the one I can't see and went into a sector editor program to look and see what the beginning of the superblock looks like. I did the calculation of 512 bytes per sector and 8192 bytes per logical block equals 16 sectors per logical block. I then multiply 16 sectors by 32 blocks should equal 512 sectors should be the start of the backup superblock. I can't see anything at this location that looks like data. I am doing this on a working freebsd drive so I can find the first few charactors of the superblock and then do a search for those on the bad drive. Am I doing this correctly? I would be happy to pay for the support if I can get help quickly.
