je suis très surpris par cette lettre (ci-dessous). Notez qu'il semble y avoir une typo dans la réponse de partition magic (écrit "it does work" au lieu de "it does NOT work"), mais le reste de la lettre est clair qui a essayé ca? quelqu'un peut-il me faire une copie de Partition Magic pour que je l'essaie? je promet de le détruire après essai :-) jdd ---------- Message transmis ---------- Subject: Partition Magic and Linux Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2001 17:36:42 +0200 From: George Ecker <gecker@mail.netvision.net.il>To: jdanield@dodin.net Dear Jean-Daniel, I tried Partition Magic 6.0 to UNDELETE the partition tables on my mixed FAT32 + Linux hard drives after a vicious virus attack on my PC. I got back ALL the FAT32 partitions perfectly, but NONE of the Linuxes. I wrote to PowerQuest tech support for help and their answer absolutely surprised me, specially in view of what I read in your Partition Rescue mini-HOWTO, para. 8.3 (The rich man case). Please consider refracing this paragraph to prevent more poors to become poorer...;-) See e-mails attached below. Best regards, George ******************************************************** Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2001 15:34:11 -0600 From: "Technical Support" <help@powerquest.com> The undelete function works on Fat, FAT32, & NTFS file partitions. It does work on Linux partitions. You will need to look for a Linux file recovery software that will be able to recover the lost data from those Linux partitions. Then you will need to recreate the partitions & reinstall Linux. I wish I had some better news. Regards, Derek Please include all previous messages if you need to reply.

Operating Systems: Win98SE, Linux Description: I have 4 disk drives with mixed FAT32+Linux ext2 partitions as follows: Disk1 - 28623MB, ATA/66, FAT32, C(boot):, F: and G: . Disk2 - 12492MB, ATA/66, ext2, hdb1(boot), hdb2, hdb3, hdb4(extended),hdb5(boot), hdb6 and hdb7(swap). Disc3 - 17547MB, SCSI, D:(boot, FAT32), sdb2(ext2,extended), sdb5(boot),sdb6, sdb7, sdb8(swap). Disk4 - 57255MB, ATA/66, FAT32, Raid Strip 2+0, FastTrack100 controller, E:. All was OK until a virus hit my partition tables. From the virus scan I can see that the files are there so data must be intact. I used my NortonRescue disc with Partition Magic's Undelete to restore ALL FAT32 partitions with great success...phewwww!. However, PM's Undelete won't recover the Linux partitions. What can I do?
