If you are able to wait until next Monday (I've got another issue this 
week) then I would be happy to help you out. I might be able to get free 
sooner but I am not sure.

Data recovery is my thing *and* I happen to have a copy of SuSe 9.3 at 
the office. :)

PS - If it can't wait then let me talk to one of the guys at the office. 
I can see if they have the time to help out but I can't make plans for 
them, obviously. :)
