The drive is formatted as ext3, single partition (sdc1), no RAID, used as an archive of divx movies, completely full with data. Motherboard is ASUS M2NPV-VM (Nvidia Nforce 430 chipset), I can easily mount it on an ASUS K8V SE (Via K8T800 chipset) if it helps. At boot the syslog shows (more or less): I/O buffer read error: logical block 0 I/O buffer read error: logical block 1 Any attempt to mount /dev/sdc1 results in tens of the above message (plus other details I don't remember right now) and finally fails. fdisk -l shows the partition table as it should be. It was late night so I gave up. Are there any chances to recover my data by e.g. specifying a different superblock (whatever that is)? Any links to help me? thanks, raffaele PS I bought the drive in 2005 and I've used it only to archive movies, so very little. It' the last Maxtor I buy (ok, also because it's Seagate now..) -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
