Date: 2 May 1994 18:58:44 -0700 Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 17 Message-ID: <2q4b4k$95n@parker.EECS.Berkeley.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: parker.eecs.berkeley.edu I had a disk drive that had both DOS and Net-BSD 0.9 on it. I wanted to change the way the partitions are set up within the UNIX portion of the disk (split wd1e into wd1e and wd1f). I ran disklabel, and now I can't access the DOS portion of the disk any more. Initially, the DOS partition information was all erased, and I tried to use pfdisk to set it up like it had been before. But this didn't help. I was able to have DOS recognize that the drive is there, but I got a Invalid Media Type error when I tried to access it. I don't think the data has been erased, but I don't know how to get at it anymore. Does anyone know of a way to get it back. I don't care if the NetBSD stuff gets removed in the process, since it was new, but I have a lot of things in the DOS disk that I want back. alan -- alan pearson alanp@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu UC Berkeley EECS
