Hi, guys,
i am trapped in situation, i was trying to write and usb-hdd
image of ipcop on USB Drive, while doing so, i have given following commands
1. mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
2. e2label usb-pen
3. zcat filename > /dev/sda1
* now the stupid thing i have done, is given /sda1( My HDD ) instead of
/sdb1 (USB Drive), it has successfully loaded IPCOP bootable on my primary
drive, and my laptop is not working now.
Laptop Partation Info:
/dev/sda1 - NTFS (Windows 7 Prof)
/dev/sda2 - NTFS
/dev/sda3 - EXT4 (Ubuntu 9.10)
* i had dual booted Windows 7 with Ubuntu.
Current Partation Info:
/dev/sda1 - vfat (IPCOPBOOT)
And all other is free space - 320gb
** now i want to get my partitions & data back, if anybody have idea about
how to get rid of this situation please share.
** The good thing i have done, is that, i didn't tried to install anything
on the drive after this happened, with hopes that i can get my data back
*** So i guess that it can be recovered but confusion is that, which data
recovery software to use, and for linux or windows, as i had my data on NTFS
filesystem and currently there is Free Space and EXT4 partition.
