Subject: [livemedia-discuss] Booted live CD, lost data on disk
Message-ID: <16706176.1213422805228.JavaMail.Twebapp@oss-app1>

Hello,

OpenSolaris came on a DVD with a magazine I subscribe to. Curious, I popped it in my macbook and booted from it. When I was done with the live CD I chose reboot from the gnome panel. Nothing happened so I shut down the laptop by holding the powerswitch.

(I did not even run the installer.)

Now when I boot Mac OS X it no longer recognizes the structure on my external firewire drive. Gparted (linux) shows a unpartitioned drive. 

Can someone _please_ tell me what the live CD does to HFS+ formatted external firewire drives and , if something,  how to reverse it?

Regards, Chris
