HI folks,

I've spent the last couple of weeks gettind my pi set up nicely - deluge and sickbeard working well together and all the rest.

Yesterday while changing power adaptors I seem to have messed up the SD card. The pi no longer boots up properly.

I used fsck to try and repair the card. However every time I use it it still shows a bad sector.

Looking at the card in a file manager tjhings seem ok. There are 3 partitions - swop, xbian-boot and xbian-beta.

I would like to try and recover all my settings if possible.

Using dd I copied the card to my desktop.

If I install xbian onto the card again and then copy the existing xbian-beta partition would that do the trick?
@wageslave

what version of XBian do you have - and specially kernel package ?

Code:
dpkg-query -W xbian-package-kernel
dpkg-query -W xbian-package-firmware
