"fdisk /mbr" does not restore the entire MBR, but only the boot-code in it. A deleted/damaged partition tablewon't be re-created by fdisk. > I saw in the Internet some utilities as Active Partition Recovery that > allow to repair deleted partitions, but I don't know if it's the > utility I need to solve my problem. Don't know about Active Partition Recovery, but I have used gpart [1] with good success in the past, and I have heard from people I trust that Testdisk [2] did work very well for them.
