Hello community!
Yesterday i tried to install a minimal server selection, using this tutorial: h**p://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-opensuse-12.2-x86_64-apache2-dovecot-ispconfig-3
when i finished configuring the installation, opensuse was preparing disk's to format and install, but it has failed at 6%.
This was my configuration before the installation:
Disk: 2TB sata (in reality:1,82TB)
Partitions:
C: 876GB - Windows 7 ultimate x64
D: 825GB - partition to store movies software etc
L: 100GB - Had an ubuntu 12.10 gnome (extended partition, created with windows)
So, when i set up partitions with opensuse it looked like this:
/dev/sda1 - system reserved 100MB
/dev/sda2 - 876GB NTFS
/dev/sda3 - 100GB Extended
/dev/sda4 - 325GB ext4 (where i wanted to create /srv)
/dev/sda5 - swap ext4 (don,t remember very well how much space was assigned to swap, root and home but had left suse default)
/dev/sda6 - root ext4
/dev/sda7 - home ext4
/dev/sda8 - unassigned partition
suse has shrinked my L: partiton to 39GB and /sda8 was left with 500GB (plus the 325GB make the former D: )
So my problem is this:
As stated before installation crashed when it was preparing disks to install new desktop; i had to reboot by pressing the reset button and then i entered in windows.
now windows see partition D: with 325 GB with the file format as RAW
i formated L: because i didnt´t want ubuntu anymore and i have 100GB plus 500GB of unassigned space.
Want i want to do is to recover the files that i had in D: and i can´t access them because they are in RAW.
Tried to fix MBR with a software but i didn´t work.
Which OS is the appropriate to try to recover: openSuse or Windows?
Should i try hiren´s boot?
Should i try a live cd of any linux distro? (with tools for partitions)
Note: Despite i had ubuntu installed i am complete new user to linux, i don´t know how to perform most of the task´s ( only know how to navigate in kde and gnome desktop)
Thank´s in advance!
