Hi..
i was installing gentoo the other day, and by mistake did a mkreiserfs
/dev/hda1 instred of /dev/hdc1 :(
/dev/hda1 was a NTFS file system with a lot of data that i dont wat to
lose , is there any way to "unformat" the new reiserfs filesystem i made
or any way to just restore the files on the disk ?
Regards,
The to fast enter pressing.........

mkreiserfs doesn't write a lot to the disk, so maybe you can just mount
it as ntfs and see what you can recover (unless mkreiserfs wrote over
your MBT file...)

Try the userspace ntfs tools, or even windows >= NT

You seemed to have pissed off some higher force ;-)

It is also a Good Thing(tm) to test a restore now and then. Yesterday I
needed to recover something, just when the hardware of the backup
machine decided to eat the needed part of an archive.
Anyway, you might want to try to get the drive running again with a
swift turn around the vertical axle of the drive the moment it should
spin up. It could be that it is just a bit stuck due to accumulated
dust.
Another thing you could try after this, is putting the disk in a closed
plastic bag in the fridge (the one that doesn't go below zero C.) for a
night.
