Antonio, It's delicate... it can be done. But if you know which partition is your "home" partition (or wherever the data is) all is not lost. If gparted or the other tool give you the "beginning of each partition (this is more important than the end actually) You can use fdisk to recreate them. What I've done in the past is boot from the disk 1 rescue disk. then using it, create the first partition. Test mount it. If it mounts ok and is readable go on to the second. If it isn't readable recheck the beginning of the partition.... doing so one at a time your data will "re-appear" since it's not gone... just hidden from view. James
