irix Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi, I have the following config: OSX86 (iAtkos) on drive 0 Win Vista on drive 1 Somehow Vista messed up the bootsector (HFS+ Partition error, later Operating system not found) of disk 0, so I tried to restore, without success (googled around anf found a lot of options). But now the whole partition table seems to be gone. If I boot the DVD and go into the Terminal and do diskutil list I see: /dev/disk0 0: *465.8 Gi disk0 Before it had 2 partitions, 1 boot (I guess?) and 1 other: the contents itself with a disklabel. Now the disklabel is gone, the partitions are gone, but there is some vital data (like emails) on the original partition. If I go into fdisk and do a print everything is 0 and says UNUSED. Do I have any chance to get this back anyhow, and if so, how? Or do I need to put the harddisk in another machine to try to save whatever is possible and reinstall the whole thing? (I hope not... it was a lot of work to get the system up & running). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
