[Wylug-discuss] Help: Filesystem crashed

[Simon Wood]

Hi Peter,
Can't really offer much help, except for to take a bit-for-bit copy of the corrupt disk image and attempt to fix that. That way any further damage done in the attempts to fix it will not be to the original disk.

This can be done with dd, something like:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=corrupt_image bs=1024k

The you can use the loopback drive to mount the image, something like:
mount -t msdos -o loop corrupt_image /floppy

Simon.
