Re: [PLUG] corrupted partition table on CF card

Close, but not totally.
The partition table is in the following format:
first 446 bytes = boot loader (LILO, GRUB, etc)
next 64 bytes = partition table
next 2 bytes = signature bytes (most likely 0x55AA)
---------------
512 bytes
So in reality, you only need to copy the 64 bytes (or 66 bytes for
completeness) after the boot loader.
In this case since you don't care about the boot loader (I don't know if
you can boot of an SF card), just doing the dd specified would be good
enough.
Hey, you said correct if you were wrong :)

did you check out the coroner's toolkit or midnight commander? I don't
know if they apply to FAT32 or not. :(
happy hunting
