Right, so my setup is I have an FTP server with attached external drives, for it being very modular. I try to install Gentoo linux on the FTP box, to better service my needs and the like. But Gentoo fucking installed the MBR into the external drive, corrupting everything (the drive was one big TrueCrypt volume and the headers are 2KB - the MBR is 2MB) so, I'm out 280gb in my wares now! FUCK! Sad Crying or Very sad

Try some recovery program, not sure how gentoo works, but perhaps it didn't remove the MFT, and if it did there is also a mirror MFT. And if all that failed you should be able to recover some of the data even without MFT. Or am I just talking rubbish...

Recovery isn't an option since the header file (the deal TrueCrypt uses to encrypt/decrypt) was totally corrupted. So even if I can get 99% of the data, it's just random data without the header.

I feel your pain, however ive never understood people who rely on Hard drives as a backup medium.. as your story shows they are not infallable.. If you really want a game/app then burn it on a DVD! if its just something you 'may' look at one day then by all means keep it on the HD.. Learn by your mistakes mate Smile

Sorry to hear that. I hardly back up anything anymore. I don't care if I lose it. Anything important is on disk
