first post on the forums! hi to all :P
I'm posting from a Hardy Live CD - while playing around with wine on my Jaunty install, the system crashed and I had to reboot the pc manually, to find a system boot failure (INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER). Upon booting from this 8.10 cd to try to perform a grub recovery, I've found that all hard drives are gone from my Jaunty /dev folder (on sda2), and only sdb (which I use for media storage - that is, porn) shows up on fdisk when I try to re-install. However, system monitor does show sda and all of its partitions, and I can access them from this cd. Could anyone help me try to recover my Jaunty installation?
Thanks in advance :)
