I need help....
I decieded to give linux another try. So I started to reszie my hard drive so I can dual boot XP and linux. I was stupid and didn't back up my data. So as Partition magic was resizing the dirve, an error occured and tried to reboot the system. It wouldn't boot up. So I bought a enclosure and tried to open the drive in linux, ubuntu. But I wasn;t able to mount the drive. It was suggested to try dmesg | tail. I run the following commad and get:
Code:
tb@tb-laptop:~$ dmesg | tail

I'm using a Maddog multimedia 2.5" enclosure.
I really need to recover the data on this drive. Please advise.
I run fdisk -l
Code:
tb@tb-laptop:~$ fdisk -l
