Thank you for the information.  here is the linkt to the previous discussion.http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Q_22075146.html
Also this is LYNX 4.0 not Linux.  The file format on the HD is not the same.  I tried to use the linux data recovery software and the result is unsupported file format on disk.
The link that is broken is http://blake.home.cern.ch/blake/linux/lynxfs/lynxfs-0.1.README
Anymore Ideas???

Thanks
Curt

How can I get ahold of Nick(ntobin).  It appears that only he has the solution.  The page that was linked to here is part of the European Organization for Nuclear Research(CERN),  I do not expect to gain acess there for obvious reasons.

Thanks

What is the hdd format fat or ??


 

by: Curtis_MehlhaffPosted on 2007-02-20 at 16:06:46ID: 18575299

I found a solution.
install new hard drive in machine and load software as normal.
log into coputer as "root"
Go to lowest level "cd /" <return>
Create a new directory  "mkdir oldroot" <return>
connect old hard drive to ribbon cable using second port
Mount HD "mount -o ro /dev/ide.1a /oldroot"
check filesystem  "ls" <enter>
you should now see two drives
Note: you will have to "mount" the second drive everytime you restart the computer.
Use the copy directory command to copy all files that you need,  "cd -R/oldroot /directory /"
This will copy all files in that directory.
You may also have to change write permission on some of the files.

wow thanks for the feedback sounds like slaving xp hdd is similar when faced in a situation like this, I always have a spare operating system installed on a hdd, if the mster dies for whatever reason and will not boot..I just plug in the master in the cdrom master using its ide and power move the jumper to slave.
Curt your brilliant I hope others will appreciate your solution.
Please ask for a refund as you solved it yourself.
Cheers M
