Maybe I am missing something, but is getting data (old/new) out > from disk too difficult ? The old and new data are completely different filesystems, I believe. And I suspect the folder data for the latter half of the disk is in the (missing) first half of the disk. Certainly the root folder. If r-linux can recover file contents, that's better than I've got. I doubt you have any folder data for the new < half disk. > In an earlier email, you had suggested possibly running fsck on sdc4 > partition. Is that something I should be considering? No, I don't believe it can handle anything like this. You might want to share this thread with the ext4 list. Phil
