I'm willing to attempt recovery on my own, but my skills are limited and recovering the MBR to its current state was the best I could do; the inode error has me stumped. Any volunteers to help me out? ===== Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
