Help! I inadvertently deleted (using fdisk) two ext2 partitions that are in an Extended primary partition (i.e. they were /dev/hda7 and /dev/hda8).
I've done nothing since then but a lot of reading. Can I safely add them back using fdisk or sfdisk (or cfdisk or something else? I know their physical locations and sizes and have verified (using a nice tool called gpart) that they're apparently still intact. If not, how can I find and update the extended partition table without modifying the partitions' contents? Thanks in advance.
