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. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
