Hi

Well, I don't understand how you could lose all your data on the other hard
drive.
If you mounted the other hard drive, transferred all your files and properly
unmounted it - you should be fine. Could you tell more specific about steps
you've done.
By the way, sorry to tell you that - there is no 'UNDELETE' utility in
Linux. If you erased your data, it's gone. Of course, you can immediately
after erasing a file open your hard drive as a raw device and try to save
erased data manually if you know were to look, but it is pain, believe me.

Sincerely yours,

hi all,

I having been using linux for a few months now. so i know a little 
bit. me thought!!

Today i transfered all my files onto a spare harddrive that i had 
mounted as /home

Great! all going well

Powered down and removed hard drive to be keep in safe place. Then 
proceed to install a fresh copy of SuSE 8.0 on my machine

All still going well!!

Got that to how i wanted it. and decided to transfer my files back 
on. So powered down and added other hard drive.

Powered Up and went into partioner and reasigned harddrive to /home

Guess what when i mounted the drive now everything is gone.

Help i need it back!!

Now when i was using windoze i would normally just run norton disk 
doctor and rebuild the partion but havent a clue what to do under 
Linux

Any help!
