Hello itimpi
Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
Unfortunately when I send those commands (reiserfsck --check /dev/md3 and reiserfsck --check /dev/md4) it doesn't complete. The error is :-
The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. If you have
bad blocks, we advise you to get a new hard drive, because once you
get one bad block that the disk drive internals cannot hide from
your sight,the chances of getting more are generally said to become
much higher (precise statistics are unknown to us), and this disk
drive is probably not expensive enough for you to you to risk your
time and data on it. If you don't want to follow that follow that
advice then if you have just a few bad blocks, try writing to the
bad blocks and see if the drive remaps the bad blocks (that means
it takes a block it has in reserve and allocates it for use for
of that block number). If it cannot remap the block, use badblock
option (-B) with reiserfs utils to handle this block correctly.
I'm guessing I have lost my 500gb hard drive and there is no way to rebuild its data? I assume I can mount the old 250gb hard drive and copy the data from it?
Cheers
