erased boot sector -> can knoppix help?
Hi All,
I did a stupid thing and let my laptop reboot with a diskwipe boot disk in the floppy. I caught it before the progress even hit 1 percent so I am pretty sure the only thing that is erased is the boot sector. The laptop had 2 partitions -> 500 meg for Ghost and roughly 59 gig for winxp pro.
Anyway I can use knoppix to retrieve any data? I tried booting in to knoppix and reading the HD but I get an error -> mount: I could not determine the filesystem type and none was specified.
Ugh....I have a lot of data that is worth saving and I would appreciate any suggestions before I ship the hd to a data recovery company.
Thanks!
