Hi!
I have Win XP and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. As I had some partition problems, I used testdisk to write a new partition table.
The 2 Windows drive were in good shape, as well as the Home on Ubuntu. Root on Ubuntu had no files!
When rebooting I had a grub message. I started Live CD and in a terminal I typed:
sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda6
which gives me the list of the superblocks available.
But when I type e2fsck -b "block number" "device", I have the message:
You must have a r/w access to the files or be root.
How can I have access to the drive ?
Note that when I use Gparted, I have no partition allocated, but the 2 Windows partitions can be reached and used, as well as my Home!
This means that I can't reinstall Ubuntu, as it doesn't detect Windows XP.
Anyone an idea?
thanks for your help.
