I tried installing Caldera from the PCQuest CD. I already had Windows and
Red Hat Linux. Red Hat was not working well ( the second installation CD
didn't work so I couldn't install many utilities ) .So I uninstalled lilo,
booted from the Caldera CD, and split the linux partition into two
partitions ,using fdisk that came with Caldera, so that I could install
Caldera in one of the partitions and Red Hat in the other. I went to the
next step i.e. partitioning for swap but saw that swap partition I had done
for Red Hat had disappeared. I went back to fdisk. I was shocked to find
that  the Windows partition plus three or four windows  partitions I had had
disappeared! Only the first partition and the two linux partitions were
seen. I aborted the installation.

I want to recover the lost partitions as I have important data in them. I
had been using fdisk for quite some time and this is the first time such a
problem has occurred. I think I might have deleted the extended partition
itself instead of the linux partition in the extended partition. Is there
anyway I can recover the lost partitions? Please help me.

P.S. This is the fourth time I am sending this mail. Everytime I get a
message that my message is waiting the moderator's approval.
