Harddrive woes

[Michael Friis]

Hi, I'm having some trouble with a harddrive.

First of it held one huge reiserfs partition with a lot of stuff on
it, but more importantly all my pictures. I then needed some space to
install linux on the thing, so I cleared some space and fired up
parted. I asked parted to resize the partition so that there would be
10GB of space at the end of the disk. I went away, but when I came
back parted had stopped, not giving any error message and apparently
not done. If I check the drive now, the huge partition is still there,
but it doesn't say which partitiontype it is (should be reiserfs i
suppose), this suggest the superblock is toast right? The "rescue"
option in parted segfaults. Right now, I just want to salvage my
pictures somehow. Any suggestions as to how this could be accomplished
would be very welcome.

Kind regards
Michael
