Hi,

Does anyone know how to recover data from a .disk file?

I managed to screw up my Mac bootcamp partition arrangement so that I can no longer boot into Windows, but I can boot into OS X & see the bootcamp files. I had installed Ubuntu from Windows and I can see the Ubuntu files, in particular a folder:

<Bootcamp>/ubuntu/disks

containing home.disk, root.disk, swap.disk and usr.disk

I suspect my valuable data from Ubuntu is in home.disk. But how can I recover it?

I have another machine (a PC) on which I can reproduce the original Windows & Ubuntu installation. Can I somehow mount the .disk files from in there?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Tim

It's written for root.disk but I guess it can work for home.disk too or even the other image files, depending where you want to save data from.
