Hello Friends

This is the listing from 'fdisk -l' on my machine:

Actually the Partition Table of /dev/hdb is exactly identical to the /dev/hda. 
On Fat32 /dev/hda1 MSW-ME was installed, on Ext3 /dev/hda5 was the /boot of 
SuSE 9.2, on /dev/hda6, the first swap, and on XFS /dev/hda7 was the / of 
SuSE. And on /dev/hdb, the first one hdb1 was Fat32, Ext3 hdb5 was /boot for 
Ubuntu, hdb6 was the second swap, and XFS hdb7 was the / for Ubuntu. And both 
hda8 and hdb8 were XFS data partitions. 

Now to try out the OOo 2 Bangla on MSW platform i installed one MSW-XP on 
the /dev/hda1, replacing the MSW-ME. Now, both the SuSE, working from hda7 
and MSW-XP working from hda1 are OK, but, just after the installation, the 
Partition Table of /dev/hdb has got corrupted, as shown in the beginning from 
'fdisk -l'. Till now i have not tried doing anything on it lest it gets 
worse. Does anyone have any suggestion how to revive this Partition Table?
