[Hidden-tech] Dell Inspiron E1505 recovery disk

[Town Websites]

Search on E1505 recovery shows something on EBay for $6.75 shipped.

There are various Linux based 'Recovery' options that will let you boot off
of a USB key and get access to partitions and copy data, however, I don't
know what it can do with your laptop's recovery partition.  It is possible
that partition could be set as bootable, or you could use the tools to copy
the whole drive to a new hard disk.  Also could replace the boot sector and
find the partitions if the drive itself isn't toast.  I keep a usb stick
around with SystemRescueCD , Knoppix is also highly recommended.

Good luck!

A bit of a hail mary, but I figured I'd try - does anyone have a recovery
disk for a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop hanging around? The boot sector of the
startup-disk for a laptop went bad so I can't get to the recovery partition
and I'd like to see if I can salvage this install.

thx

Herb
