Got a new disk.

Using recovery partition I tried to dump/restore the partiton... but 
half during the process I got a disk error and the process aborted. 
Proof that it is gone.

at the end, I changed hard disk and had to reinstall. Now salvaging data.
I will reinstall MacPorts from scratch. Safer... and also a "test" like 
being a new user.

I still am a bit disappointed by SMART.

Does Macports have a tool to get SMART details? On linux  there is one  
quite comprehensive!
