My boot loader wansn't working properly and i didn't find my 5.2.1
install cd, so i grabbed 4.4(or is that 4.6) install cd, and chose fdisk,
marked the freebsd partition bootable(S), and wrote changes.
I didn't notice that it had made my about 150GB partition as
100GB(ad0s3) and 60GB(unused) partitions.
After that i haven't touched the partitions.
I had one slice on that partition and i think it is dirty, i accidently
pressed the reset instead of the power button.
So i heard in #freebsdhelp at EFnet that i could retrieve the data on that
partition by modifying the partition table(like the beginning and the
end of the partition).
I dont know any probrams that could do this, or how to use them.
Here is some information about my HD:
-200GB maxtor
Offset Size(MB) End Name PType Desc Subtype
Flags
0 0 62 - 12 unused 0
63 20473 41929649 ad0s1 8 freebsd
165
41929650 10236 62894474 ad0s2 7 fat 12
62894475 100361 268435454 ad0s3 8 freebsd 165
268435455 63409 398297087 - 12 unused 0
And please, answer me. this is rather important. I'll answer any
questions as soon as i can.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
