Subject: [gentoo-amd64] How to rescue to lost ext3 partition ?? |

hi all , |
10 |
I tried to resize my gentoo (ext3) partion with the help of "partition |
11 |
magic". |
12 |
everything goes correct but in the completion it gave some error. didn't |
13 |
know exactly what was that. Then i reboot the system and find out that grub |
14 |
was lost and giving error 17. |
15 |
=========================================== |
16 |
error 17 |
17 |
This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem |
18 |
type cannot be recognized by GRUB. |
19 |
=========================================== |
20 |
|
21 |
Now after some efforts I somehow manage to install grub again with the help |
22 |
of a Gentoo live cd. But I have no clue for how to get back my gentoo |
23 |
partition. Is there any way to rescue that parition?? |
24 |
following are some useful info. |

Are you sure that your system is not on /dev/sda12? |
58 |
I would boot an install cd and |
59 |
mount /mnt/gentoo /dev/sda12 |
60 |
and take a look before the action gets drastic. |
61 |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6 |

I did the same ....but it didn't mount. says unrecognized partition. |

Thanks |
