Weekend of disaster

Yesterday, my precious qube3 crashed. Does not want to boot anymore and no power at the board. (smoke!!)
We tried a second qube (yup we have a spare now) but swapping the harddisk did not solve the error.
No idea what is the cause .. I have one idea, but that can only be checked if I can access the Harddisk again.

The spare Qube3 is a development qube where we noticed that a normal internet connection is not possible and running a normal webserver is total out of the question. So we have to restore this little thing with an Intel / 3Com nic.

Meanwhile my collegue Pieter searched for a tool to access the ext2fs filesystem under XP. Pieter searched and found: Ext2fsd. As the ext2fs is journalized, I have only read-access. But lucky as we are we managed to save all our: images, websites etc..

The only trouble is the mysql databases. No idea how to retrieve those when you cannot run mysql anymore.

We are happy to see the sun again :-)
