And i accidentally deleted it !!!

jpch_void,
Did you delete the partition table (or the entry) or the files contained within the partiton..
The chances of sucess depends on which one you did.
Please post the output of for the drive and explain where /home was.
Also explain exactly (step by step) what you did.

If you deleted the partition you can recover it with 'parted'. I used ti once on a friends system to recover a deleted fat32 partition.
QTparted also has some additional features on top of the regular parted. |

I think its finnish now... i tried too much thing for now... :
From the begining :
- Deleted my "/home" partition when installing windows 98
- Redefined "/home" partition with fdisk on the space used before
- Trying to move previous files of the partition with diskdrake from mandrakesoft (mandrake move 9.2 live cd). Error with fsck code 8
- Redifining again "/home" from here
- Also creating a new partition within the space of a previous partition without moving on previous "/home" space.
- Installing windows xp on this prevous space.
- Checking the "/home" with e2fsk : error file sytem not found !
- Creating again the file system with "mke2fs -j"
edit :
Between :
emerge qtparted
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of  app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5 to /
>>> md5 files  docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5.ebuild
>>> md5 files docbook-xml-dtd-4.2-r1.ebuild
>>> md5 files docbook-xml-dtd-4.3.ebuild
>>> md5 files files/digest-docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2-r5
>>> md5 files files/digest-docbook-xml-dtd-4.2-r1
>>> md5 files files/digest-docbook-xml-dtd-4.3
!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/docbkx412.zip
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification
I don't know how to solve this ! |
