hi everyone,
i installed debian/winXP on a machine and later wanted to remove debian
from it. i removed the partition but lilo was still there. now 'smart me'
decided to remove lilo *the geek way* .. by using dd to copy boot record
from /dev/hda1 (WinXP) to /dev/hda (first sector of drive ??) and somehow
decided on giving this command ...
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 .. i know this is wrong
because when i rebooted i could'nt load windows or lilo either... and then
when i used to debian boot CD ... and did a fdisk /dev/hda -> pto list the partitions 
... it gave me all crap... i guess i just fried up
the partition table on the machine ...is there any way to recover the data from the 
machine or i'll have to
reformat and repartition the machine and loose all my MP3 collection :( :(please reply 
soon .. am desperately in need of a solution and ... no i
don't have any fdisk /* partition table info for my machine prior to
frying it up :( :(
cheers
sharninder
