damege. It
is possible tu recover data tu a knoon-working partishun on zee same physical
disk, but it does require special considerashun.
2. Check that zee system yuoo are working on has zee
appropriate code peges instelled in order tu be able tu read
nashunel-lungooege-a symbols in file und durectury names.
