Hi,

i bought an external 1GB Harddisk and saved this damaged partition. 
Furhter on i tried:
<e2fsck -f /mnt/AIRY-1TB/sda7.part>
http://pastebin.com/f1TRMNS2

The output is in german, sorry. However i dont know when i should to 
press "yes", so i only pressed "y".

Then i started <testdisk /mnt/AIRY-1TB/sda7.part> and he found ".", ".." 
and i copied "." to some place on my external disk. I could recover my 
.thunderbird :-)

regards Markus
