Once I changed partition table and closed fdisk after writing the table.
Then I started fdisk again, and rewrote the table as original. I had
jotted down my first table. I was surprized to find intact files in the
partitions. May be, a large part of the data could be salvaged.
boot in win
delete non dos partition.
make that as a dos partition
boot of cdrom
using fdisk, create partitions, exactly as you had before the crash.
This assumes that you have the partition info jotted down somewhere.
