On an occasion or two, I've had linux installs overwrite a partition table when I wasn't paying close occasion. Using google I found TestDisk which is a program that is able to recover partition tables. I've used it successfully 2 or 3 times. I've also encountered one situation where I broke the partition table with dd and TestDisk wasn't able to help. So, mileage varies :-> David -- [email protected] mailing list
