HELP: Mandrake Linux 8.2
I installed the Mandrake Linux 8.2 version on my girlfriend's computer. Everything seemed to be fine until the system stopped responding for 10 min. After I reboot, same thing happened at the same place so I used windows 98 bootup disk and found out everything is GONE! This is the first time I experienced this mother-fvcking bug/crash with Mandrake Linux. I've installed it on various systems with absolutely no problem.
Is there anyway that I can restore the info on the hard drive? |

If the installation didn't format over the win98 partition and write over it, you may be able to recover some of it with a disk recovery tool from norton or something similar. Otherwise. . . there's always sending it in to a disk recovery center but that'll be waaaaay to expensive.

The thing is it stopped responding at the beginning of installation so I couldn't tell what it actually did. I'm gonna put that hard drive in my sys as a slave and see if I can save the content.
