How to recover disk and files after 10.04 boot failure?
- by K R Jawaharlal
I have a 1TB HDD with four Windows XP partitions and a 120GB HDD with 10.04. While working in Ubuntu, due to delay and failure to shutdown, I switched off the system.
Next it failed to boot in Ubuntu and stopped at initramfs. After that, I tried to repair from the booting stage. By mistake instead of hdd no I used partition no. This damaged the Windows also.
Then Windows XP was reloaded and is running.
When I boot with 12.04, it is able to detect the 120GB HDD, but, it is unable to mount. I am unable to access the files.
I would like to revive the disk and recover files. Would appreciate any help.
