[sleuthkit-users] EXT2 superblock

[Lisa M. <34....@gm...>]

What information is contained in the ext2 superblock?

I have a drive which I can't mount because it has a damaged
superblock, and I'm wondering if I copy the superblock off another
drive with the same partitioning and size, will I be able to get
access to my file.

All I want to do is get a single dd image file off the drive, but I
can't even mount the drive in Autopsy, says not a vald linux
filesystem.

If I mount the filesystem as raw, I can't see any files.

Surely there has got to be a way to analyse a disk partition if the
superblock was intentionally damaged?? all that other information on
the disk couldn't be now unreachable?

Any help / advice much appreciated!

Lisa.
