I was trying to load a new OS.
I had linux partitions in hda5 and hda7.
After the OS loaded, i tried to run linux rescue from pcq linux 7.1 (linux CD from PCQ
which I use as my OS).
I could not rescue using standard method.
Next Itried to upgrade it and I found that I could not upgrade and was getting this error
An error occured reading the partition table for the block device hda. The error has
logical partition of type 0 detected.
then there was some such explainatory mesage.
On saying Ok, it skipped the disk.
Then i loaded another hard disk and I can now see that the hard disk shows hda4 which has
size equal to the addition of sizes of hda5 and hda7.
but it does not show hda5 and 7 in brackets.
How do i retrieve my old data. there is almost twenty days of un backed up data or rather
data backed up on hda7.
Any clues to this problems solution?
