Hey guys, this is a non-gentoo question but I figure someone on here will |
2 |
have the answer I seek :-) |

My father's laptop (running Windows XP) managed to detonate itself a few |
5 |
days back and I'm trying to recover information from it. Before we wiped |
6 |
the hard drive I loaded a LiveCD and imaged the entire hard drive using |
7 |
'dd': |
8 |
|
9 |
dd if=/dev/hda of=/some/location/on/nfs |
10 |
|
11 |
So I have a 4.3GB file on my desktop which is the complete hard drive of his |
12 |
laptop. |
13 |
|
14 |
So here's my question, if I had just gone 'dd if=/dev/hda1' it would have |
15 |
been easy to mount the file as a loopback filesystem and get the files off |
16 |
of it, but since I dd'ed the *entire* disk I have all the extra crud as |
17 |
well like boot sectors and partition tables and such. |
18 |
|
19 |
How can I take this image of ('hda') and mount the filesystem ('hda1') |
20 |
that's inside it? |
21 |
|

Thanks! |
