[Exa Gon]

I've finded my old post...

When i've booted from USB key, my disks partitions have this schema :

sg-3-usb:~# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 17 136521 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 * 18 60801 488247480 83 Linux

If this can help me.

No, i don't have any backup :(

Do you never try to restore to original firmware ?

When i install debian on it, my FSG have the original disk and i think the original partion schema...Can i find somewhere ?

Can you search for the mtd file ?

Thanks a lot.
i'm lost without you Tomasz.
Bye
