Seg Fault

[Warren E. Agin]

Why not pull the hard drive and try installing it as a slave on a Windows box. Unless the drive itself has gone bad, you should have no problem accessing the data.

  Hey y'all:

  I'm running Win 98 dualed with Red Hat 6.2.  The Windows OS died a long time
  ago (no complaints) and I've just been using the GNU/Linux side.  I have a
  single hard drive partitioned a few ways:
  hda1 is known as /mnt/dosc in the linux side
  hda7 is known as /mnt/dosd in the linux side
  As the names indicate, they are FAT32 drives that were visible by both
  partitions.  /mnt/dosd has the bulk of my data -- photos with captions, code,
  my masters thesis (I have backups, but the LaTeX was groovy), mp3s (less
  important), and assorted other data.

  At any rate, I went to access it the other day while in gnome and it shut the
  application down.  Eventually, I exited gnome and just tried to more a textfile
  in /mnt/dosd and got this:

  I've tried using dosfstools to help, but couldn't get anywhere.  I booted on
  the windows side and scandisk gets to about 83%, says "crosschecking names" and
  then reboots.  I booted to dos and can see the directories using dir but when I
  get deep enough in any subdirectory (just how deep "enough" is varies) I get an
  Abort Retry Fail.

  I searched google for the beginning of the error message I posted, and there
  are a few other postings of the same error messages to discussion panels like
  this one -- never with an answer that I could find.



  I just want to be able to access the data.  I'll then back it up (I'm really
  broke, so I haven't been able to afford an external CD-RW for my laptop... but
  I'll get one now if it means I collect quarters at Ruggles) and once its backed
  up, I can wipe the entire 30 gig drive clean and reinstall Red Hat 7.3 or
  whatever with no Windows/FAT32 partitions whatsoever.

  So... any ideas?  tjvitolo<at>yahoo.com if you please.  Thanks in advance!
