gpart is a tool (comes with SuSE) for guessing lost partition tables. If
the partition table is lost you may try to recover it from memory by
running fdisk (but do nothing else and note down what you see and
do). I've done this once (the first time). Also it may be possible to cat
the raw device to a file on some other hard disk. you may be able to mount
this later with the -o loop option and try to make sense out of it (I've
used this many times to recover months of work from badly written
backup CDs).
Best wishes,

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created
